        "question": "Are there visa requirements to travel from Aguadilla to New York?",
        "answer": "This route is entirely domestic. Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, so travel between Aguadilla and New York is treated as domestic travel.

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in New York?",
        "answer": "New York has three major airports serving this route, with JFK and Newark being most likely. From JFK, the AirTrain connects to the subway E, J, and Z lines or the Long Island Rail Road, reaching Midtown Manhattan in about an hour total. From Newark, the AirTrain links to NJ Transit trains, which reach Penn Station in roughly thirty minutes. Taxis from JFK have a flat fare of around seventy dollars to Manhattan, while Newark taxis cost more. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft are widely used from all airports and are often the most convenient option. Express Bus services are cheaper but slower. Car rentals are available but driving and parking in New York City is expensive and impractical for most visitors. The AirTrain combined with subway or rail is the most affordable option, but ride-share services are the most commonly used for their convenience and door-to-door service."
