      "q4": {
        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from New York to Ivory Coast?",
        "answer": "The cheapest months to fly from New York to Ivory Coast are March, April, and February, with March averaging the lowest fares, while July and December are the most expensive. For the best price, book about 5 to 25 days ahead, and aim for midweek departures when possible, as weekends and peak summer or holiday periods tend to cost more.",
        "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."

      "q5": {
        "question": "How far in advance should I book flights from New York to Ivory Coast?",
        "answer": "For flights from New York to Ivory Coast, the optimal booking window is roughly 1 to 4 weeks ahead (5–25 days before departure), when average fares hover around $1,168, though you can occasionally snag a deal as low as $1,148 just 5 days out.",

Grand-Bassam offers colonial history and beaches. San Pedro is known for access to Taï National Park and nearby beaches. Man in the west attracts with mountains and waterfalls."

        "question": "Do I need a visa to travel from New York to Ivory Coast?",
        "answer": "Yes, U.S. citizens need a visa to enter Ivory Coast for tourism. You must obtain an e-visa online before travel, as visas on arrival are not available. Entry rules can change, so verify current requirements with the Ivorian embassy or official e-visa portal before your trip."

        "question": "Which airports in Ivory Coast are best to fly into from New York?",
