      "q4": {
        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from San Salvador to United States?",
        "answer": "The cheapest months to fly from San Salvador to the United States are April, May, and September, when average fares are lowest, while December and March are the most expensive. Booking about 6 to 9 weeks ahead tends to yield the best prices, and midweek departures outside of peak summer and major holidays generally offer better value.",
        "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. For this route, fares for the requested travel direction were unavailable, so the pattern shown is derived from the reverse direction, which shares the same seasonal demand cycle."

        "question": "What are the most popular cities to visit in United States?",

        "question": "Which airports in United States are best to fly into from San Salvador?",
        "answer": "From San Salvador to the United States, Houston Intercontinental, Miami, and Los Angeles are the main gateways with the most frequent flights. Houston and Miami offer strong onward connections across the southern and eastern U.S., while Los Angeles works well for the West Coast. For regional travel or resorts, Orlando is a good option for central Florida, and Washington Dulles serves the Mid-Atlantic."
      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "When is the best time of year to visit United States?",
        "answer": "The best times to visit the United States are spring, from April to June, and autumn, from September to October. These seasons offer mild weather and lighter crowds in most regions, avoiding the peak summer months of July and August when popular destinations are crowded and prices are highest."

        "question": "How do I get to Arnulfo Romero Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown San Salvador, the fastest and most popular way to reach Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport is by taxi or ride‑share, taking about 30 minutes via the four‑lane Comalapa motorway. Public buses also serve the airport, though they are slower and less comfortable. For those driving, the airport offers parking, but it’s generally the priciest option. There is no train or shuttle bus service to the airport.",
