        "question": "Which cities in Haiti can I fly to from New York City?",
        "answer": "From New York City you can fly non-stop to Port-au-Prince, the capital, which is the main gateway. One-stop options via Miami or Fort Lauderdale also serve Cap-Haïtien in the north. Travelers choose Port-au-Prince for business or connecting to southern regions, and Cap-Haïtien for access to historic sites and beaches."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "How long is the flight from New York City to Haiti?",
        "answer": "From New York City, non-stop flights to Port-au-Prince typically take 3 hours 45 minutes to 4 hours 15 minutes southbound, with return flights being 10 to 20 minutes shorter. One-stop options to Cap-Haïtien or Port-au-Prince usually range from 5 to 8 hours depending on the connection."

      "q4": {
        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from New York City to Haiti?",
        "answer": "The cheapest months to fly from New York City to Haiti are typically April, May, and September, with the lowest fares found in spring and early fall. Booking about 8 to 11 weeks ahead — roughly two to three months before departure — tends to yield the best prices. Midweek departures and off-peak times like early morning or late night are usually cheaper, while peak summer months and major holidays see noticeably higher fares.",
        "methodology": "This 'good deal' estimate shows a representative best price for each departure date across roughly a 12-month window (about 3 months back and 9 months forward). It is built from real flight prices found by Priceline users searching this route, accumulated into a price history for each departure date. Rather than weighting all of that history equally, we apply exponential time decay so recent prices dominate — a price seen yesterday counts almost in full, one from about a month ago roughly a third, and prices from a few months back very little — giving a figure that tracks today's market instead of a stale long-run average. Clear price outliers are removed before any calculation, departure dates with no observations are filled in from nearby dates, and the resulting curve is lightly smoothed so it reads as a clean seasonal trend rather than day-to-day noise. This booking-window guidance is built from the same real flight prices found by Priceline users searching this route, re-grouped by how many days before departure each price was seen (from the departure day out to about 180 days ahead) across the route's price history. At each booking lead time we report the 25th-percentile price — the cheaper end of what travelers were quoted, rather than the rock-bottom minimum (which can be a fluke) or the average (which is pulled up by expensive last-minute fares). The buy-or-wait advice then applies a risk premium that grows as departure approaches, since seat availability shrinks and prices become less predictable; using that adjusted curve we flag windows where waiting is likely to save a meaningful amount (at least $20 or 5%) versus windows where booking now is the better call. Isolated single-day recommendations are filtered out, so the advice only reflects a window that holds for several days in a row. 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."

      "q5": {
        "question": "How far in advance should I book flights from New York City to Haiti?",
        "answer": "For flights from New York City to Port-au-Prince, the best time to book is 8 to 11 weeks before departure, when typical fares drop to around $1,407 — booking last-minute can push prices up to $1,735.",

        "question": "What are the most popular cities to visit in Haiti?",
        "answer": "Key cities include Port-au-Prince for museums and markets, Cap-Haïtien for historic sites like the Citadelle, Jacmel for beaches and art, and Les Cayes for coastal scenery. Flights from NYC land mainly in Port-au-Prince, with domestic flights or road transfers to other cities."

      "q8": {
        "question": "Which airports in Haiti are best to fly into from New York City?",
        "answer": "From New York City to Haiti, Port-au-Prince Toussaint Louverture International handles virtually all long-haul flights from the U.S., making it the primary entry point with the most flight options. Cap-Haïtien offers limited direct flights and works better for northern destinations. There are no passenger rail connections in Haiti, so onward travel relies on road or domestic flights."
      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "When is the best time of year to visit Haiti?",
        "answer": "For Haiti, November to March is the dry season with comfortable temperatures and lower humidity, making it the best time to visit. Summer is hurricane season and can be hot and wet, so it's less ideal."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to John F Kennedy Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From Midtown Manhattan, the cheapest option is the subway and AirTrain combination from Howard Beach or Sutphin Boulevard, though the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) from Penn Station to Jamaica and then AirTrain is faster. Yellow taxis offer a flat fare to JFK, while ride‑share apps like Uber and Lyft provide door‑to‑door service with variable pricing. Driving and parking at the airport is possible but often the most expensive and traffic‑prone choice.",
