        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Bogotá to San Juan?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Bogotá (BOG) to San Juan (SJU) typically takes about 2 hours 50 minutes to 3 hours. With one common layover in Panama City (PTY), the total travel time is around 5 to 6 hours. The return flight is similar in duration."

      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Bogotá to San Juan?",
        "answer": "Yes, Avianca (AV) flies non‑stop from Bogotá (BOG) to San Juan (SJU) daily with multiple departures, typically around 7:30 AM, 7:40 AM, and 1:15 PM, using Airbus A320 family aircraft. Avianca is the only airline offering non‑stop service on this route based on current schedule data.",
        "methodology": "Carrier service and weekly frequencies are summarized from our flight-schedule database, which draws on published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data, and observed operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). Where available, on-time and cancellation rates come from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Airline On-Time Performance dataset, and typical fares from the U.S. DOT Airline Origin and Destination Survey (DB1B), a quarterly 10% sample of tickets sold. Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI).

Aircraft types are taken from the equipment each operating carrier schedules on this route, drawn from published airline timetables and airline equipment schedules in our flight-schedule database. They describe typical scheduled aircraft and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute equipment swaps.",

        "question": "Are there visa requirements to travel from Bogotá to San Juan?",
        "answer": "Yes — visa requirements apply when traveling from Bogotá, Colombia to San Juan, Puerto Rico. Since San Juan is a U.S. territory, U.S. federal immigration rules apply. Colombian citizens generally need a U.S. visa to enter Puerto Rico, unless they hold a valid U.S. visa or meet specific exceptions. Travelers of other nationalities should check U.S. visa requirements based on their citizenship. U.S. citizens and nationals do not need a visa for this route."

      "q3": {
        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in San Juan?",
        "answer": "From Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU) to central San Juan, taxis are the most used and convenient option, with fixed fares to areas like Old San Juan and Condado. Ride-share services such as Uber are available but may have designated pickup points. Public buses (AMA) are very limited, infrequent, and not recommended for visitors. Car rentals are widely available at the airport and useful for exploring the island, though parking in Old San Juan is difficult. There is no direct rail link. Most travelers rely on taxis or ride-shares for their simplicity and door-to-door service."

In the schedule data, Avianca flies the route nonstop daily with departures around 07:30–07:40 and 13:15, and recent live pricing shows round-trip fares starting around $313–$334 on connecting itineraries (mostly Copa via Panama) and $417–$439 on Avianca.",

        "question": "How far in advance should I book tickets from Bogotá to San Juan?",

However, one-stop connecting itineraries with an overnight long leg do appear, such as a United Airlines routing via Newark (EWR) where the BOG–EWR leg departs around 11:10 PM and arrives at 6:05 AM, followed by a roughly two-hour layover before the onward flight to San Juan.",
        "methodology": "Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes — flagging services that depart late at night and arrive the following morning; for connecting itineraries the red-eye is based on the timing of the overnight long-haul leg.",

      "q12": {
        "question": "Which airport should I use in San Juan?",
        "answer": "San Juan has one main airport, Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU), located about 3 miles southeast of Old San Juan and the cruise port.
