        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Fort Lauderdale to Port-au-Prince?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Fort Lauderdale (FLL) to Port-au-Prince (PAP) typically takes about 1 hour and 50 minutes. With a layover, most commonly in Miami (MIA), total travel time usually ranges from 4 to 6 hours."

        "question": "Are there visa requirements to travel from Fort Lauderdale to Port-au-Prince?",
        "answer": "Yes, visa requirements apply for travel between Fort Lauderdale and Port-au-Prince. U.S. citizens traveling to Haiti need a valid passport and must pay a tourist fee upon arrival; a visa is not required for stays up to 90 days. Haitian citizens traveling to the U.S. need a valid visa, typically a B1/B2 visitor visa, unless they hold a passport from a Visa Waiver Program country. Non-U.S. or non-Haitian nationals should check both Haitian and U.S. entry requirements based on their citizenship."
      },
      "q4": {
        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Fort Lauderdale to Port-au-Prince?",
        "answer": "The cheapest months to fly from Fort Lauderdale to Port-au-Prince are August and April, with average fares around $1,268 and $1,271 respectively, while May and September offer moderate prices. The most expensive months are July and June, where average fares climb to about $1,312 and $1,296.",
        "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.",

        "question": "How far in advance should I book tickets from Fort Lauderdale to Port-au-Prince?",
        "answer": "For flights from Fort Lauderdale to Port-au-Prince, the best fares are typically found when booking 23 to 26 weeks ahead, with prices averaging around $1200. Booking about 115 days (roughly 16 weeks) out can also yield a similar low, while last-minute purchases within two weeks tend to be pricier. The data doesn't break out summer or holiday periods specifically, but booking well in advance is likely your best bet year-round.",
        "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.",

        "answer": "No overnight (red‑eye) flights operate from Fort Lauderdale to Port‑au‑Prince. Neither nonstop red‑eyes nor connecting itineraries whose long leg is a red‑eye were found in the schedule.",
        "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.",

        "question": "Which airlines usually operate this route from Fort Lauderdale to Port-au-Prince?",
        "answer": "There are no nonstop flights from Fort Lauderdale to Port-au-Prince. The most common one-stop routing is via Cap-Haïtien on Sunrise Airways, with a short second leg and a long layover. Other connecting options may exist through different hubs, but Sunrise Airways via Cap-Haïtien is the primary scheduled pattern.",
        "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.",

        "question": "How reliable are on‑time departures on this route from Fort Lauderdale to Port-au-Prince?",

      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "Which airport should I use in Port-au-Prince?",
        "answer": "Port-au-Prince has one main airport, Toussaint Louverture International Airport, located about 6 km north of downtown. It serves all international and domestic flights for the city."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Hollywood Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Fort Lauderdale, the cheapest way to reach FLL is Broward County Transit Route 1 bus, which stops at the Rental Car Center. Ride‑share services like Uber and Lyft, along with taxis, offer a faster door‑to‑terminal trip and are the most popular choice for their convenience, with fares generally under $20. Tri‑Rail commuter trains also connect the region via a free shuttle from the FLL station to the terminals, providing a reliable option from points along the I‑95 corridor. Driving and parking is straightforward with short‑term and long‑term lots adjacent to the terminals, though costs accumulate for extended stays.",
