        "question": "Which cities in Puerto Rico can I fly from to reach Colombia?",
        "answer": "From Puerto Rico, San Juan is the main departure city for reaching Colombia, with nonstop flights to both Medellín and Bogotá. Flights to Medellín take 2h 44m and to Bogotá 2h 55m, operated by Avianca and JetBlue. Travellers choose San Juan because it is the only airport in Puerto Rico with scheduled nonstop service to Colombia, offering the most convenient and frequent options.",
        "methodology": "Departure cities and their weekly nonstop flights 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 list every city in the origin country with scheduled nonstop service to an airport in the destination, busiest first.",

These are the only nonstop services from Puerto Rico to Colombia, with Avianca and JetBlue operating them. Connecting itineraries are also possible but will add travel time.",
        "methodology": "Flight times 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); the typical time is the median scheduled duration of each departure city's nonstop services to the destination.",

        "answer": "San Juan Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport is by far the most affordable and well-connected hub for flights from Puerto Rico to Colombia. Fares from smaller airports like Aguadilla or Ponce are generally higher and require a connection through San Juan or a mainland U.S. city."

        "question": "Which airlines fly from Puerto Rico to Colombia?",
        "answer": "Avianca and JetBlue fly from Puerto Rico to Colombia, with Avianca in Star Alliance and JetBlue as an independent carrier. They operate nonstop from San Juan to Medellín and Bogotá.",

        "question": "How far in advance should I book flights from Puerto Rico to Colombia?",
        "answer": "For flights from Puerto Rico to Colombia, booking 8 to 12 weeks ahead is a practical window for long-haul international routes, though peak seasons like Christmas or Semana Santa may require even earlier planning to secure better fares.",
        "methodology": "Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled 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 count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. Stop counts, connecting hubs, and per-airline prices are drawn from a large sample of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. We group those fares by number of stops, by the hub airport a connection routes through, and by operating airline, and report each group's share of the sample alongside its lowest and median price. The typical price, the lowest fare, a 'great deal' threshold, and how fares are spread across price bands are summarized from a large sample of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours, with a small fraction of extreme outlier fares excluded from the range. 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."

Arriving in Bogotá gives you the most domestic flight options, while Medellín and Cartagena are convenient for exploring their respective regions."
