        "question": "From which cities in United States can I fly to Cali?",
        "answer": "Two US cities offer nonstop flights to Cali: Miami (MIA) and New York (JFK). Miami is the primary gateway, with up to 91 weekly nonstops on American Airlines and Avianca, a flight time of about 3 hours 53 minutes. New York provides a secondary nonstop option on Avianca, with around 10 weekly flights and a longer duration of roughly 6 hours. Travelers from other US regions typically connect through Miami or via Avianca's hub in Bogotá, choosing their departure city based on proximity and the frequency of connections available.",
        "methodology": "The U.S. departure cities with nonstop service to this destination and their weekly frequencies come 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 identify every U.S. airport with scheduled nonstop service, group airports into their metropolitan areas, and rank cities by scheduled weekly departures.",

        "answer": "Nonstop flights from the United States to Cali are available from Miami and New York, with typical flight times around 3 hours 53 minutes from Miami and 6 hours from New York. From other major US cities, typical one-stop itineraries add a few hours of connection time, with total travel often ranging from 7 to 10 hours depending on the layover. Return flights from Cali to the US are generally similar in duration, though headwinds can sometimes make the northbound leg slightly longer.",

        "answer": "Flights from the United States to Cali are typically cheapest during the low season from February to May and September to early November, with midweek departures on Tuesdays and Wednesdays offering the best fares. Booking at least three to four weeks in advance helps secure lower prices, while red-eye flights often cost less than daytime options."
      },
      "q6": {
        "question": "How far in advance should I book flights from United States to Cali?",
        "answer": "Book flights from the United States to Cali 6 to 10 weeks ahead for the best balance of availability and price, but book 12 or more weeks early if traveling during peak periods like Christmas, New Year, or the Feria de Cali in late December."
      },
      "q8": {
        "question": "What is the baggage allowance on flights from United States to Cali?",
        "answer": "Baggage rules depend on the airline and fare you book. Most standard economy tickets include one checked bag and a carry-on, but basic economy fares on airlines like American, United, or Copa often do not include a checked bag. Premium cabins allow two or more bags. Always verify with your airline."
      },
      "q10": {
        "question": "What time of day is usually cheapest for flights from United States to Cali?",
        "answer": "Departures in the early morning and late evening tend to offer lower fares from the US to Cali. Midday and afternoon flights are often slightly more expensive due to higher demand. These patterns can shift with the day of the week and season, so comparing a few departure times may help you find a better price."

      "q11": {
        "question": "Which airport will I arrive at and how do I get from Alfonso Bonilla Aragon Intl Airport to downtown Cali?",
        "answer": "Flights from the United States to Cali, Colombia arrive at Alfonso Bonilla Aragón International Airport (CLO), which is situated between the cities of Palmira and Cali, roughly 16 kilometers northeast of downtown Cali. There is no airport train or metro link, so ground transport into the city centre relies on taxis, ride‑share services, and local buses. Official airport taxis and ride‑sharing apps are available directly outside the terminal; the drive to downtown Cali typically takes 25 to 35 minutes depending on traffic. Public buses also serve the airport, offering a slower but economical option, with travel times of about 45 minutes to an hour.",
