      },
      "q4": {
        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Boston to Peru?",
        "answer": "The cheapest months to fly from Boston to Lima tend to be April, March, and November, while peak summer (July–August) and the December holidays are the most expensive. Booking about 7 to 10 weeks ahead typically yields the lowest fares, and flying on a Thursday or in the early morning can offer additional savings compared to weekends or late-night departures.",
        "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 Peru?",
        "answer": "For flights from Boston to Lima, the sweet spot is booking 7 to 10 weeks ahead, when fares average around $710, with the absolute cheapest day being about 65 days out at roughly $703.",

        "question": "Which airports in Peru are best to fly into from Boston?",
        "answer": "From Boston to Peru, most travelers connect through Lima’s Jorge Chávez International Airport, the country’s primary long‑haul gateway with the most flights from the U.S. and the best domestic connections. Cusco is the closest airport to Machu Picchu but requires a stop in Lima; it suits those heading straight to the Sacred Valley."

      "q12": {
        "question": "When is the best time of year to visit Peru?",
        "answer": "For Peru, the best time is May through September, the dry season in the Andes, which is ideal for visiting Cusco and Machu Picchu. This is also the busiest and most expensive period, especially June to August. April and October are shoulder months with decent weather and fewer crowds."

      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Logan Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Boston, the MBTA Silver Line 1 (SL1) bus runs directly from South Station to all Logan terminals and is free from the airport to downtown, making it the most popular and affordable public transit option; the Blue Line subway also connects to the airport via a free shuttle from Airport Station. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft, taxis, and the Logan Express shuttle buses from Back Bay and other suburbs offer convenient but pricier alternatives. Driving and parking are possible with Central, Economy, and terminal garages, though airport parking is the most expensive choice. The Silver Line SL1 is generally fastest from downtown and avoids traffic, while taxis and ride-shares are quicker door-to-door but cost significantly more.",
