      "q4": {
        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Boston to Dominican Republic?",
        "answer": "The cheapest months to fly from Boston to the Dominican Republic are May, September, and November, with fares typically lowest on Tuesdays and midday departures. Booking about 9 to 11 weeks ahead offers the best value, while peak summer and major holidays like December and February are usually much more expensive.",
        "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 Boston to Dominican Republic?",
        "answer": "For flights from Boston to Punta Cana, book 9 to 11 weeks ahead for the best average fare of around $542; you can often book a bit closer in during shoulder seasons, but summer and holiday travel reward locking in early.",

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."

        "question": "How do I get to Logan Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Boston, the MBTA Silver Line 1 bus is the most popular and affordable option, running directly from South Station to all Logan terminals and being free from the airport to downtown, while the Blue Line subway connects to Airport Station with a free shuttle transfer. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft, taxis, and the Logan Express bus from Back Bay offer faster and more convenient alternatives at a higher cost. Driving and parking are also possible, with Central Parking closest to terminals and more economical Economy Parking served by free shuttles. The Silver Line is generally the fastest public transit choice, while ride-share or taxi is the quickest door-to-door.",
