        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Orlando to El Salvador?",
        "answer": "The cheapest months to fly from Orlando to El Salvador are April and March, while December and November are the priciest. For the best fare, book 11 to 14 weeks ahead, with the lowest price typically around 90 days before departure. Midweek flights (Tuesday and Wednesday) and early-morning or late-night departures generally offer lower fares, while peak summer and the winter holiday season are usually more expensive.",
        "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."

        "question": "When is the best time of year to visit El Salvador?",
        "answer": "The best time to visit El Salvador is during the dry season from November to April, which offers sunny weather and avoids the heavy rains of the wet season. This period coincides with peak tourist season, so prices and crowds are higher, especially around Christmas and Easter. For a good balance, consider the shoulder months of November and late April, when weather is still pleasant but crowds are thinner."
