        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Santo Domingo to United States?",
        "answer": "The cheapest months to fly from Santo Domingo to the US are typically May, September, and October, while December through February and the peak summer weeks around July are the most expensive. For the best fare, aim to book about 10 to 30 days ahead for New York and roughly 5 to 6 months ahead for Miami, since last-minute tickets often cost more. Midweek departures and off-peak times of day generally offer lower prices, though exact day-of-week patterns aren't available for this route. Peak summer and major holiday periods like Christmas and New Year's will almost always be pricier.",
        "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. For this route, fares for the requested travel direction were unavailable, so the pattern shown is derived from the reverse direction, which shares the same seasonal demand cycle."

      "q5": {
        "question": "How far in advance should I book flights from Santo Domingo to United States?",
        "answer": "For flights from Santo Domingo to the United States, the best booking window is about 3 to 4 weeks ahead for New York (where prices average around $505 in the 10–30 day window) and roughly 21 to 24 weeks ahead for Miami (where fares average about $477), so a practical sweet spot is booking 3 to 5 weeks out for most US destinations, though summer and holiday travel may warrant locking in tickets a bit earlier.",

Summer is busy and expensive, especially in national parks and coastal cities."
