        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Boston to Charleston?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Boston (BOS) to Charleston (CHS) typically takes about 2 hours 15 minutes to 2 hours 30 minutes. With one stop, depending on the connection city, total travel time commonly ranges from 4 to 6 hours."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Boston to Charleston?",
        "answer": "Yes, JetBlue and Delta both fly nonstop from Boston to Charleston daily. Between them they offer up to 14 departures a day — Delta has five (spread from early morning through mid-afternoon) and JetBlue has nine (from early morning into the evening).",
        "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). Where available, on-time and cancellation rates come from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Airline On-Time Performance dataset, and typical fares from the U.S. DOT Airline Origin and Destination Survey (DB1B), a quarterly 10% sample of tickets sold.",

        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Boston to Charleston?",
        "answer": "The cheapest months to fly from Boston to Charleston are June (average $339), November ($342), and July ($343), while the most expensive are September (average $434), May ($378), and August ($361).",
        "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.",

      "q5": {
        "question": "How far in advance should I book tickets from Boston to Charleston?",
        "answer": "For Boston to Charleston, the best fares typically appear when booking 10 to 30 days ahead, with the lowest average around 20 days out at about $165. During summer or holidays, demand often pushes prices higher, so aiming for the earlier end of that window—around three to four weeks in advance—can help lock in a better deal.",
        "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.",

        "methodology": "Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes — flagging services that depart late at night and arrive the following morning; for connecting itineraries the red-eye is based on the timing of the overnight long-haul leg.",

        "answer": "Common layovers include Charlotte, Atlanta, and Washington–Dulles, providing frequent connections and efficient transfers. Charlotte and Atlanta are major Southeastern hubs with short onward flights to Charleston, while Washington–Dulles offers an alternative routing that keeps total travel time competitive."
      },
      "q9": {
        "question": "How reliable are on‑time departures on this route from Boston to Charleston?",
        "answer": "On‑time performance is generally good, though afternoon thunderstorms can cause delays. Early morning flights on Delta and American often depart on schedule."
      },
      "q10": {
        "question": "Which months have the best weather for traveling to Charleston?",

      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Logan Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Boston, the fastest and most popular way to reach Logan Airport is the MBTA Silver Line SL1 bus, which is free from South Station and offers a direct, frequent connection. The Back Bay Logan Express shuttle is another economical choice, costing $3 to the airport and free on the return. Taxis and ride‑share services like Uber and Lyft provide door‑to‑terminal convenience at a higher cost, while driving and parking is the most expensive option, with on‑airport garages and advance reservations available.",
