Cancun serves the Yucatan beaches. Guadalajara and Monterrey are key business and cultural centers. One-stop connections through Houston or Dallas open up more destinations like Puerto Vallarta and Los Cabos."

      "q4": {
        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from San Antonio to Mexico?",
        "answer": "The cheapest months to fly from San Antonio to Mexico City are September, February, and April, with late summer and early spring offering the lowest fares overall, while December and July are the most expensive. Booking about 8 to 11 weeks ahead yields the best prices, and departing on a Saturday or Monday tends to be cheaper than flying on a Sunday. Evening departures generally cost less than morning or midday flights, and peak summer months and major holidays like Christmas and New Year's usually see higher prices.",
        "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."
