      },
      "q4": {
        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Cancún to Mexico?",
        "answer": "Cancún to Mexico City is a busy domestic route with nonstop service, and fares are generally lowest during the late summer and early fall shoulder months, especially on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Booking a few weeks ahead helps secure better prices, while peak summer and major holidays like Christmas and Easter tend to be significantly more expensive.",
        "methodology": "The cheapest day of the week and time of day to depart are drawn from the same large sample of real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours, grouped by the day of the week and by the time-of-day window of the outbound departure, with the lowest and average price reported for each. Stop counts, connecting hubs, and per-airline prices are drawn from a large sample of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. We group those fares by number of stops, by the hub airport a connection routes through, and by operating airline, and report each group's share of the sample alongside its lowest and median price. The typical price, the lowest fare, a 'great deal' threshold, and how fares are spread across price bands are summarized from a large sample of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours, with a small fraction of extreme outlier fares excluded from the range."
      },
      "q5": {
        "question": "How far in advance should I book flights from Cancún to Mexico?",
        "answer": "For flights from Cancún to Mexico City, booking about 4 to 8 weeks ahead typically yields the best fares, though you can often find good deals closer in during off-peak periods.",
        "methodology": "Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours."

      },
      "q8": {
        "question": "Which airports in Mexico are best to fly into from Cancún?",
        "answer": "Cancún is already in Mexico, so you are asking about domestic flights. For onward travel within Mexico, Mexico City International Airport is the main hub with the most connections. Guadalajara and Monterrey are also major airports with many domestic routes. If you are looking for beach resorts, Cancún itself is a primary gateway to the Riviera Maya, and Los Cabos and Puerto Vallarta are other resort-focused airports. For regional travel in the Yucatán, Mérida is a convenient option. There are no significant train networks for onward travel; buses and domestic flights are the main options."

      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Cancún Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Cancún, the most popular and fastest way to reach Cancún International Airport is by pre-booked private shuttle or taxi, taking about 25 minutes. Public ADO buses also run from the city center to the airport, offering a more economical option. Ride-share services like Uber are available but may have limited pickup areas.
