        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Windsor Locks to San Juan?",
        "answer": "There are no nonstop flights from Bradley International (BDL) to San Juan (SJU).

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in San Juan?",
        "answer": "Luis Munoz Marin International Airport sits just a few miles east of central San Juan, making most transport options quick. Taxis are the most commonly used option, with fixed government-regulated fares to major hotel zones like Condado and Old San Juan, costing roughly fifteen to thirty dollars depending on destination. Uber and other ride-share apps also operate at the airport and are often slightly cheaper than taxis. The Tren Urbano metro system does not directly serve the airport, limiting mass transit options. Public buses run by AMA serve the area but are slow and less practical with luggage. Car rentals are widely available at the airport and are popular for exploring the island beyond San Juan. For most travelers arriving at SJU, taxis or ride-share services offer the best balance of convenience, speed, and value for reaching the city center."

        "question": "How far in advance should I book tickets from Windsor Locks to San Juan?",
        "answer": "For the Windsor Locks (BDL) to San Juan (SJU) route, the optimal booking window is surprisingly short — about 5 to 25 days before departure, where average fares sit around $462 and the single cheapest point is roughly 10 days out at $437. Booking too far in advance (say, 3–6 months ahead) actually costs more, with fares in the $480–$550 range, so this route rewards waiting rather than booking early. That said, for peak summer travel or holiday periods (like Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year's), it's wise to book a few weeks earlier than usual to secure availability before prices spike toward the $590+ last-minute range.",
