        "question": "How far in advance should I book flights from Washington D.C. to Canada?",
        "answer": "For flights from Washington D.C. to Canada, the optimal booking window is about 16 to 19 weeks ahead, with the best price around $295–$299.",
        "methodology": "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."

      "q7": {
        "question": "Do I need a visa to travel from Washington D.C. to Canada?",

You will need a valid U.S. passport, and while an eTA is required for visa-exempt foreign nationals, U.S. citizens are exempt from the eTA requirement. Entry rules can change, so verify current requirements before travel."

      "q12": {
        "question": "When is the best time of year to visit Canada?",
