        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Milwaukee to San Juan?",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in San Juan?",
        "answer": "Luis Munoz Marin International Airport sits about seven miles east of downtown San Juan. Taxis are the most commonly used option and are regulated with fixed zone fares, making them predictable and reliable for visitors. Ride-share services like Uber operate in San Juan and are often slightly cheaper than taxis. The Tren Urbano metro system does not directly serve the airport, so transit connections require a bus transfer, making it less practical for most travelers. Public buses are available but slow and infrequent. Car rentals are plentiful at the airport and are a popular choice given Puerto Rico's car-dependent infrastructure outside the metro area. For most travelers arriving at SJU, taxis and ride-shares offer the most convenient and direct route to hotels and the city center."

        "answer": "For Milwaukee (MKE) to San Juan (SJU), the optimal booking window is roughly 22–25 weeks before departure (about 5–6 months out), where average fares sit around $477, with the single best price typically found around 170 days (24 weeks) ahead at approximately $445.
