        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Boston to Fort Myers?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Boston (BOS) to Fort Myers (RSW) typically takes about 3 hours and 30 minutes. Flights with one stop, often in cities like Charlotte or Atlanta, usually range from 5 to 7 hours total travel time. The return flight from Fort Myers to Boston is often slightly shorter, around 3 hours and 15 minutes nonstop, due to prevailing winds."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Boston to Fort Myers?",
        "answer": "JetBlue and Delta fly nonstop from Boston to Fort Myers, both daily. JetBlue offers up to 104 weekly flights with departures spread throughout the day, while Delta operates 34 weekly flights, also daily. No red-eye nonstops exist, but a connecting overnight via Philadelphia on American is available, with the red-eye leg departing at 21:19 and arriving at 00:19.",
        "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. 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.",

      "q4": {
        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Boston to Fort Myers?",
        "answer": "The cheapest months to fly from Boston to Fort Myers are August, March, and May, with average fares around $312, $315, and $331 respectively. The most expensive months are December, November, and January, where average fares climb to $526, $525, and $486.",
        "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 Fort Myers?",
        "answer": "For flights from Boston to Fort Myers, the best time to book is roughly 4 to 7 weeks before departure, with an average fare around $167. The absolute cheapest window is about 45 days out at $160, while booking far in advance (e.g., 180 days) can cost nearly double. Prices tend to rise sharply within the final two weeks, so last-minute bookings are especially expensive.",
        "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.",

      "q8": {
        "question": "If I need a connection, what are common layover cities between Boston and Fort Myers?",
        "answer": "Common layover cities between Boston and Fort Myers include Charlotte, Atlanta, and Baltimore. Charlotte offers efficient connections via American Airlines, Atlanta provides broad options with Delta, and Baltimore serves as a convenient Southwest hub. Total travel times are competitive, typically ranging from 5 to 7 hours depending on layover duration."
      },
      "q9": {
        "question": "How reliable are on‑time departures on this route from Boston to Fort Myers?",
        "answer": "On‑time performance is generally dependable, though winter weather in Boston can cause disruptions. Early morning departures on JetBlue or Delta often have the best punctuality."
      },
      "q10": {
        "question": "Which months have the best weather for traveling to Fort Myers?",
        "answer": "March to May offers warm, dry weather and fewer tourists than winter."
      },
      "q11": {
        "question": "What documents should I bring with me to the airport when flying from Boston to Fort Myers?",
        "answer": "For domestic U.S. flights, bring a Real ID or passport, ensure the name matches your ticket and carry payment for baggage and any required health documents."
      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "Which airport should I use in Fort Myers?",
        "answer": "Fort Myers has only one commercial airport: Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW). It serves all airlines flying into the region and is located about 16 miles southeast of downtown Fort Myers."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Logan Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Boston, you can take the MBTA Silver Line bus (free from South Station) directly to Logan terminals, or the Blue Line to Airport station with a free shuttle connection. Logan Express buses serve Back Bay and suburban park-and-rides with affordable fares, while taxis and ride-shares offer door-to-door convenience. Driving and parking at Logan is available but pricey; the Silver Line is often the fastest and most popular choice from the city center.",

Travelers with disabilities can contact the TSA Cares hotline at 855-787-2227 for screening help, and the airport offers service animal relief areas and an animal therapy program.
