        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from New York to San Juan?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from New York (JFK) to San Juan (SJU) typically takes about 3 hours 30 minutes. The return flight from San Juan to New York runs slightly shorter at around 3 hours 15 minutes due to favorable tailwinds. Connecting flights through Miami, Charlotte, or Orlando typically add 2 to 4 hours to total travel time."

        "question": "Are there any direct flights from New York to San Juan?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are plenty of nonstop flights from JFK to San Juan (SJU), operated daily by three airlines: JetBlue (B6) dominates the route with over 130 weekly flights and departures spread throughout the day, while Delta runs 3 daily nonstops and Frontier offers 2 daily nonstops as well.",

      "q2": {
        "question": "Are there visa requirements to travel from New York to San Juan?",
        "answer": "No visa requirements apply for U.S. citizens traveling from New York to San Juan, as Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory. Travel between the U.S. mainland and Puerto Rico is considered domestic travel, so no passport or visa is required for U.S. citizens. Non-U.S. nationals should carry valid immigration documents, as they may be subject to inspection upon arrival."
      },
      "q3": {
        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in San Juan?",
        "answer": "Luis Munoz Marin International Airport sits about eight miles from downtown San Juan. Taxis are widely available at fixed government-regulated rates to major destinations, making them predictable and popular. Ride-share services like Uber operate in San Juan and are often cheaper than taxis, though availability can vary. The Tren Urbano metro system does not directly serve the airport, limiting mass transit options. Publicos, shared vans running fixed routes, are the cheapest option but are slow and less convenient with luggage. Car rentals are very popular in Puerto Rico given the island's limited public transit network and are ideal for exploring beyond San Juan. Most visitors arriving for the first time tend to use taxis or ride-share services for the initial airport transfer, while longer-stay travelers often opt for rental cars."

      "q4": {
        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from New York to San Juan?",
        "answer": "The cheapest time to fly from New York JFK to San Juan is in January and February (averaging $348) and September ($391), which make up the low season on this route. The most expensive months are December (averaging $523), followed by July ($466) and November ($461), so travelers should avoid those peak periods if looking to save.",

      "q5": {
        "question": "How far in advance should I book tickets from New York to San Juan?",
        "answer": "For the JFK to SJU route, the optimal booking window is roughly 6 to 9 weeks (about 42–63 days) before departure, where average fares sit around $368–$373 — booking too far out (say, 4–6 months ahead) actually costs more, around $420–$470, while last-minute tickets can spike to $515. For peak summer travel and holiday periods, it's wise to book a bit earlier than that sweet spot, as demand from both leisure travelers and Puerto Rico–based families tends to fill seats faster and push prices up sooner.",
