        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in San Diego?",
        "answer": "San Diego International Airport (SAN) sits just three miles from downtown, making ground transportation straightforward. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft are the most popular option, offering convenient pickup from designated areas and typically reaching downtown in ten to fifteen minutes. Taxis are available but more expensive. The Metropolitan Transit System Route 992 bus connects the airport to downtown Santa Fe Depot in about fifteen minutes for a low fare, making it the best budget option. Car rentals are available at the consolidated rental facility reached by shuttle, and are practical given San Diego's car-friendly layout and sprawling suburbs. The San Diego Trolley does not directly serve the airport but can be accessed from downtown for onward travel. Most visitors use ride-share for its convenience and competitive pricing given the short distance involved."

        "question": "How far in advance should I book tickets from New York to San Diego?",
        "answer": "For JFK to San Diego, the optimal booking window is about 4–6 weeks before departure, where average fares hover around $342–$346 — booking too early (5–6 months out) or last-minute can push prices well above $400–$550.
