        "question": "Are there visa requirements to travel from New York to San Juan?",
        "answer": "Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, so U.S. citizens and permanent residents do not need a passport or visa to travel between New York and San Juan. Non-U.S. nationals should carry the same documentation they would need for any domestic U.S. travel, meaning a valid visa or other immigration status that permits travel within the United States."

      "q3": {
        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in San Juan?",
        "answer": "Luis Munoz Marin International Airport is located about eight miles east of Old San Juan. Taxis are the most commonly used option, with fixed government-regulated fares to major hotel zones including Condado and Old San Juan, making them reliable and straightforward. Ride-share services such as Uber operate in San Juan and are often cheaper than taxis. The Tren Urbano metro system does not directly serve the airport, though a bus connection exists to reach it. Public buses operated by AMA serve the airport but are slow and require transfers, making them less practical for most visitors. Car rentals are very popular in Puerto Rico given the limited public transit network and are ideal for exploring beyond the metro area. Most tourists opt for taxis or ride-share for airport transfers due to their convenience and competitive pricing."

        "question": "How far in advance should I book tickets from New York to San Juan?",
        "answer": "For the New York to San Juan route, the optimal booking window is generally 6–9 weeks (roughly 45–65 days) before departure, where average fares sit around $363–$368 — booking last-minute (within a week) can push prices up to $509 or more. For peak summer travel and holiday periods (like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's), it's wise to book even earlier — closer to 3–4 months out — as demand for Puerto Rico spikes and the cheapest seats sell out faster.",
