      },
      "q5": {
        "question": "How far in advance should I book flights from Kraków to United States?",
        "answer": "For flights from Kraków to the United States, the optimal booking window is about 23–26 weeks (roughly 5–6 months) ahead, when average fares are lowest around $728; booking much closer to departure can push prices above $800, while the very cheapest single fare appears at the 180-day mark.",
        "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. 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."
      },
      "q6": {
        "question": "What are the most popular cities to visit in United States?",
        "answer": "Top U.S. cities reachable from Kraków include New York for culture and landmarks, Chicago for architecture and food, Miami for beaches and nightlife, Los Angeles for entertainment and the West Coast, and Washington D.C. for history and museums. Most international flights arrive at major East Coast or Midwest hubs, with domestic connections available."
      },
      "q7": {
        "question": "Do I need a visa to travel from Kraków to United States?",
        "answer": "For Polish citizens traveling from Kraków to the United States, a visa is not required for short tourist visits. However, an electronic travel authorization through ESTA must be obtained before travel. The permitted length of stay is 90 days.\n\nThis is general guidance to help you plan, not official immigration advice — entry rules can change and can depend on your nationality and circumstances, so please confirm the current requirements with the relevant embassy or official government source before you travel.",

        "question": "How do I get to John Paul II Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Kraków, the SKA1 suburban train is the fastest and most popular option, reaching Kraków Główny (the main station) in about 17–18 minutes with departures every half hour. Public buses also connect the airport to the main railway and bus station around the clock, offering a cheaper but slower alternative. Taxis and ride-share services provide door-to-door convenience at a higher cost, while driving yourself is possible with a multi-level parking garage and a seven-storey parking garage at the terminal. The train is generally the best balance of speed and cost.",
