        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Fort Lauderdale to Peru?",
        "answer": "The cheapest months to fly from Fort Lauderdale to Peru are generally April, March, and September, with April offering the lowest average fares, while December and January are the most expensive due to holiday demand. For the best price, book about 23 to 26 weeks ahead of departure, and aim for midweek flights when possible, as weekends tend to be pricier. Peak summer and major holidays like Christmas and New Year's typically bring higher fares, so traveling in the spring or early fall shoulder seasons is your best bet.",
        "methodology": "This 'good deal' estimate shows a representative best price for each departure date across roughly a 12-month window (about 3 months back and 9 months forward). It is built from real flight prices found by Priceline users searching this route, accumulated into a price history for each departure date. Rather than weighting all of that history equally, we apply exponential time decay so recent prices dominate — a price seen yesterday counts almost in full, one from about a month ago roughly a third, and prices from a few months back very little — giving a figure that tracks today's market instead of a stale long-run average. Clear price outliers are removed before any calculation, departure dates with no observations are filled in from nearby dates, and the resulting curve is lightly smoothed so it reads as a clean seasonal trend rather than day-to-day noise. This booking-window guidance is built from the same real flight prices found by Priceline users searching this route, re-grouped by how many days before departure each price was seen (from the departure day out to about 180 days ahead) across the route's price history. At each booking lead time we report the 25th-percentile price — the cheaper end of what travelers were quoted, rather than the rock-bottom minimum (which can be a fluke) or the average (which is pulled up by expensive last-minute fares). The buy-or-wait advice then applies a risk premium that grows as departure approaches, since seat availability shrinks and prices become less predictable; using that adjusted curve we flag windows where waiting is likely to save a meaningful amount (at least $20 or 5%) versus windows where booking now is the better call. Isolated single-day recommendations are filtered out, so the advice only reflects a window that holds for several days in a row."

Cusco is the best airport for reaching Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley, though it typically requires a connection in Lima.

Onward trains are not a major factor in Peru, but Lima has the most bus and flight options for regional travel."
