      "q4": {
        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Cartagena to United States?",
        "answer": "The cheapest months to fly from Cartagena to the United States are April, May, and September, while December, July, and November are the most expensive — peak summer and major holidays drive prices up noticeably. Booking 8 to 11 weeks ahead tends to yield the best fares, and although specific day-of-week data isn't available for this route, midweek departures and off-peak times of day generally offer lower prices than weekend or evening flights.",
        "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."

      "q5": {
        "question": "How far in advance should I book flights from Cartagena to United States?",
        "answer": "For flights from Cartagena to the United States, the optimal booking window is about 8 to 11 weeks before departure, when average fares drop to around $644.",

        "question": "When is the best time of year to visit United States?",
        "answer": "The United States is large and diverse, but generally April to June and September to October offer pleasant weather and fewer crowds than summer across most regions.

        "question": "How do I get to Rafael Nuñez Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Cartagena, the most popular and fastest way to reach Rafael Núñez International Airport is a short taxi or ride‑share ride, as the airport sits in the Crespo neighborhood just north of the historic center. Public buses also serve the route, offering a budget‑friendly alternative, though they can be slower and less direct. Driving yourself is possible, with both short‑term and long‑term parking available at the airport. Taxis and ride‑share services are generally the most convenient option, while the bus is the most economical.",
