        "question": "Are there direct flights from Cartagena to Colombia?",
        "answer": "Cartagena is already in Colombia, so you cannot have a direct flight from Cartagena to Colombia as a destination country. If you meant flights from Cartagena to other cities within Colombia, there are many non-stop domestic routes. For example, you can fly non-stop from Cartagena to Bogotá, Medellín, Cali, and other cities on airlines like Avianca, LATAM, and Viva Air. Flight times are short, typically under 1.5 hours."

      "q4": {
        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Cartagena to Colombia?",
        "answer": "For domestic flights from Cartagena to Bogotá and other Colombian cities, the cheapest months are typically February through May and September through early November, avoiding the December–January holidays, Easter week, and the June–July peak summer vacation period. Flying midweek (Tuesday or Wednesday) and choosing early-morning or late-evening departures usually yields the lowest fares, while weekends and peak holiday dates tend to be more expensive.",
        "methodology": "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). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. 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."

      "q7": {
        "question": "Do I need a visa to travel from Cartagena to Colombia?",
        "answer": "Since Cartagena is a city within Colombia, you are not crossing an international border, so no visa or travel authorization is required for this domestic flight. If you are a U.S. citizen already in Colombia, ensure your passport is valid and you comply with Colombia's entry rules for your overall stay."

      "q8": {
        "question": "Which airports in Colombia are best to fly into from Cartagena?",
        "answer": "From Cartagena to other parts of Colombia, Rafael Núñez International Airport itself serves domestic connections to Bogotá, Medellín, and Cali. Bogotá’s El Dorado is the main hub for onward travel and long-haul flights, while Medellín’s José María Córdova suits regional exploration and resort areas like the Coffee Triangle. Cali’s Alfonso Bonilla Aragón works well for southwestern Colombia. There are no train networks, so travel relies on flights or buses."
      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "When is the best time of year to visit Colombia?",
        "answer": "For Colombia, December to March is the driest period with pleasant weather, but prices are higher and crowds thicker along the Caribbean coast. April to May and September to November offer fewer tourists and lower rates, though rain showers are more frequent."
