        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Phoenix 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 widely available and operate on fixed government-regulated fares by zone, making them predictable and popular. Ride-share services like Uber are available and often slightly cheaper than taxis. The Tren Urbano metro system does not serve the airport directly, so public transit options are limited to buses, which are inexpensive but slow and infrequent. Car rentals are plentiful at the airport and are highly recommended if you plan to explore beyond San Juan, as the island's road network makes a car very practical. Most first-time visitors use taxis or ride-share for the trip into the city, while longer-stay visitors often opt for car rentals given Puerto Rico's limited public transportation outside the metro area."

        "question": "How far in advance should I book tickets from Phoenix to San Juan?",
        "answer": "For Phoenix to San Juan, the optimal booking window is roughly 6 to 9 weeks (about 40–65 days) before departure, where average fares sit around $586–$592 — booking too early (beyond ~3 months out) or too late (within 2 weeks) both push prices noticeably higher, with last-minute fares climbing to $862. For summer travel or holiday periods, it's wise to book toward the earlier end of that window or even a bit sooner, as demand on this leisure-heavy route spikes and the best seats at lower fares tend to sell out faster.",
