        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Bogotá to San Juan?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Bogotá (BOG) to San Juan (SJU) typically takes about 2 hours 45 minutes. With one stop, such as via Panama City (PTY) with Copa Airlines, total travel time is often around 5 to 6 hours. Return flights are similar in duration."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Bogotá to San Juan?",
        "answer": "Yes, Avianca flies non‑stop from Bogotá to San Juan with 13 weekly departures, operating daily. Flights leave at roughly 7:30 AM, 7:40 AM, and 1:15 PM, and typical fares run around $451.",
        "methodology": "Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. Carrier service and weekly frequencies are summarized from our flight-schedule database, which draws on published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data, and observed operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI).

        "question": "Are there visa requirements to travel from Bogotá to San Juan?",
        "answer": "Yes, visa requirements apply for travel from Bogotá to San Juan. Colombian citizens need a U.S. visa or an ESTA under the Visa Waiver Program to enter Puerto Rico, as it is a U.S. territory. U.S. citizens do not need a visa to enter Colombia for stays up to 90 days. For other nationalities, requirements depend on their citizenship and U.S. and Colombian entry rules."
      },
      "q3": {
        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in San Juan?",
        "answer": "At San Juan’s Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU), taxis offer the fastest and most-used option, with fixed fares to major zones like Old San Juan and Condado. Ride-share services such as Uber are available but must drop you at a designated pickup area, not curbside. Public buses (AMA) are the cheapest at $0.75, though they’re slower and less convenient with luggage. Car rentals are plentiful at the airport if you plan to explore beyond the city. The Tren Urbano rail doesn’t reach the airport, so it’s not a direct option.",
