      },
      "q5": {
        "question": "How far in advance should I book flights from Tampa to Dominican Republic?",
        "answer": "For flights from Tampa to the Dominican Republic, booking 22 to 25 weeks (roughly 5 to 6 months) ahead typically yields the best fares, averaging around $581.",
        "methodology": "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."

      "q6": {

Las Américas International Airport in Santo Domingo offers more city access and onward bus connections across the country. For the north coast and Samaná Peninsula, consider Gregorio Luperón International Airport in Puerto Plata, though service is more seasonal."
