        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Fort Myers to Puerto Rico?",
        "answer": "The cheapest months to fly from Fort Myers to Puerto Rico are September, August, and October, while December and June are the most expensive — peak summer and the winter holidays will push fares higher. For the lowest price, book about 14 to 16 weeks ahead, and aim to depart on a Monday or Saturday in the early morning hours; Sunday departures tend to be priciest.",
        "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. The cheapest day of the week and time of day to depart are drawn from the same large sample of real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours, grouped by the day of the week and by the time-of-day window of the outbound departure, with the lowest and average price reported for each."

        "answer": "No visa is needed for U.S. citizens traveling from Fort Myers to Puerto Rico, as Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory and the flight is domestic. You only need valid government-issued ID, such as a REAL ID-compliant driver's license or passport, to board the plane."

        "question": "Which airports in Puerto Rico are best to fly into from Fort Myers?",
        "answer": "From Fort Myers to Puerto Rico, Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan is the primary gateway with the most flight options, serving as the hub for exploring the island and connecting to smaller airports. For a more direct route to the west coast, Rafael Hernández Airport in Aguadilla is a good alternative, especially if you are headed to resorts in Rincón or Isabela, though it has fewer flights. Mercedita Airport in Ponce serves the southern region but typically requires a connection in San Juan. There are no trains for onward travel, so renting a car or using taxis is essential."

      "q12": {
        "question": "When is the best time of year to visit Puerto Rico?",
        "answer": "Mid-December to April is ideal for sunny, mild weather and lower humidity, though it's peak tourist season with higher prices. For a balance of good weather and lower costs, consider May to early June or November, when the rainy season is less intense and crowds thin out. Summer is hot, humid and hurricane-prone, with higher airfare and hotel rates."
