        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from New York to Aguadilla?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from New York to Aguadilla (BQN) typically takes about 3 hours 30 minutes. JetBlue operates direct service from JFK.

        "question": "Are there visa requirements to travel from New York to Aguadilla?",
        "answer": "No visa requirements apply for this route. Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, so travel between New York and Aguadilla is treated as domestic travel. U.S. citizens and permanent residents do not need a passport or visa. Non-U.S. nationals should carry valid immigration documents such as a visa or green card, as they would for any domestic U.S. flight."
      },
      "q3": {
        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Aguadilla?",
        "answer": "Rafael Hernandez Airport in Aguadilla has limited public transit options, making a car rental the most practical and most commonly chosen option. Several major rental agencies operate at the airport, and having a car is strongly recommended for exploring the surrounding area, including beaches and nearby towns. Taxis are available outside the terminal and can take you to central Aguadilla or nearby areas like Rincon, though fares can be high for longer distances. Ride-share services like Uber operate in Puerto Rico but availability in Aguadilla can be inconsistent compared to San Juan. There is no direct bus service connecting the airport to the city center. Most travelers rent a car given the limited public infrastructure in the region and the convenience of having independent transport across the island's northwest coast."

For peak summer travel or holiday periods (Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's), you'll want to push that window earlier — closer to 3–4 months out — as demand for Puerto Rico surges and fares climb well above the typical range, with last-minute tickets potentially reaching $700+.",

JetBlue, the primary carrier serving this route, performs reasonably well but morning departures from JFK give you the best odds of departing on time before congestion builds. Avoid late afternoon and evening flights when delays cascade through the system."
