        "question": "Are there visa requirements to travel from Indianapolis to San Juan?",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in San Juan?",
        "answer": "Luis Munoz Marin International Airport sits about eight miles east of downtown San Juan. Taxis are the most commonly used option, with fixed government-regulated fares to major tourist zones like Condado and Old San Juan, making them reliable and predictably priced. Uber and other ride-share apps operate at the airport and are often slightly cheaper than taxis. The Tren Urbano metro system does not directly serve the airport, though a bus connection to the nearest station is possible but inconvenient with luggage. Public buses operated by AMA are inexpensive but slow and infrequent. Car rentals are widely available and popular among visitors planning to explore the island beyond San Juan. For most travelers arriving in San Juan, taxis or ride-share services offer the best balance of convenience and cost for reaching the city center."

        "question": "How far in advance should I book tickets from Indianapolis to San Juan?",

Booking last-minute (within a week of departure) can push prices up to $629, so you'll want to avoid that; for summer travel or holiday periods like Thanksgiving and Christmas — when San Juan is especially popular — it's wise to book even earlier, closer to 3–4 months in advance, to lock in competitive fares before inventory tightens.",
