        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in San Diego?",
        "answer": "San Diego International Airport (SAN) sits just three miles from downtown, making it one of the most conveniently located airports in the United States. The Metropolitan Transit System Route 992 bus connects the airport to downtown Santa Fe Depot in about fifteen minutes for a low fare and is a practical choice for budget travelers. Taxis are readily available and reach downtown in ten to fifteen minutes, though they cost more. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft are extremely popular and competitively priced given the short distance, making them the most commonly used option among arriving passengers. Car rentals are available via a shuttle to the consolidated rental car center and are useful if you plan to explore beyond downtown. The airport has no direct rail connection, but the Santa Fe Depot, reachable by bus or ride-share, connects to the Coaster commuter rail and Amtrak for travel further along the coast."

        "question": "How far in advance should I book tickets from Las Vegas to San Diego?",

Booking too far in advance — say, 4–5 months out — can actually cost significantly more (up to $253), so there's no benefit to booking very early on this short route; however, for busy summer weekends or holiday periods like Thanksgiving and New Year's, it's wise to aim for the earlier end of that window (4–5 weeks out) to secure availability before prices rise.",
