        "question": "Which cities in Puerto Rico can I fly to from Jacksonville?",
        "answer": "From Jacksonville you most often connect through San Juan, which is the main gateway, then take a short flight or ferry to smaller islands like Vieques or Culebra if you want quieter beaches. Non‑stop service is rare, so most itineraries involve one stop in Miami, Atlanta or a similar hub."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "How long is the flight from Jacksonville to Puerto Rico?",
        "answer": "From Jacksonville to San Juan, most flights require a connection and take around 5 to 6 hours total, though a few seasonal non‑stops can be under 3½ hours. Returning northbound is often 30 to 45 minutes shorter thanks to prevailing winds."
      },

      },
      "q4": {
        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Jacksonville to Puerto Rico?",
        "answer": "The cheapest months to fly from Jacksonville to San Juan are August and September, with October and May also offering lower fares, while December and February are the most expensive. Midweek departures, especially on Thursdays, tend to be cheaper than weekend flights, and midday departures often have the lowest fares. Booking about 9 to 12 weeks ahead typically gives the best price, and peak summer and major holidays usually drive prices higher.",
        "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."

The Route 1 bus is the main public option and likely the most affordable, while taxis and ride-share are faster and more convenient but costlier.",
