        "question": "Are there visa requirements to travel from Fort Lauderdale to San Juan?",
        "answer": "Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, so travel between Fort Lauderdale and San Juan is considered domestic travel. No passport or visa is required for U.S. citizens.

      "q3": {
        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in San Juan?",
        "answer": "Luis Munoz Marin International Airport sits about seven miles from downtown San Juan. Taxis are the most commonly used option, with fixed-rate zones established by the Puerto Rico Tourism Company, making fares predictable. Uber and other ride-share services 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 operated by AMA connect the airport to parts of the city but are slow and infrequent. Car rentals are abundant and popular given Puerto Rico's limited public transit network, making them a practical choice for exploring beyond San Juan. For most travelers heading to the hotel zones of Condado or Isla Verde, taxis or ride-share services offer the best balance of convenience and cost, with the ride typically taking fifteen to twenty-five minutes depending on traffic."

        "question": "How far in advance should I book tickets from Fort Lauderdale to San Juan?",
        "answer": "For the Fort Lauderdale to San Juan route, the optimal booking window is about 7–10 weeks (roughly 50–70 days) before departure, where average fares sit around $407–$415 — booking too early (4–6 months out) or too late (within a week) can push prices up to $450–$511. For peak summer travel or holiday periods like Thanksgiving and Christmas, it's wise to book even earlier — closer to 3–4 months in advance — as demand for San Juan spikes and those lower fares disappear faster.",
