        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Fort Myers to San Juan?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Fort Myers (RSW) to San Juan (SJU) typically takes about 2 hours 50 minutes to 3 hours. With one stop, total travel time often ranges from 5 to 8 hours depending on the layover city, with common connections through Miami, Charlotte, or Atlanta. The return flight from San Juan to Fort Myers is usually similar in duration, around 3 hours nonstop."
      },
      "q2": {
        "question": "Are there visa requirements to travel from Fort Myers to San Juan?",
        "answer": "No visa is required for U.S. citizens traveling from Fort Myers to San Juan, as Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory and the flight is domestic. Non-U.S. citizens must follow the same U.S. entry requirements as for any U.S. destination, so they need appropriate visas or ESTA authorization, but no additional visa is needed for Puerto Rico specifically."
      },
      "q3": {
        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in San Juan?",
        "answer": "From Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU), the fastest and most-used option to reach central San Juan is a taxi, with a flat-rate ride to the Condado or Old San Juan areas typically taking 10–20 minutes. Ride-share services like Uber are also available and widely used, though pickup may be at a designated area. Public buses operated by the AMA (Metropolitan Bus Authority) serve the airport via route T5, but they are slow and infrequent, making them the least practical choice for most visitors. Car rentals are available at the airport if you plan to explore beyond the city. The AMA bus system is not recommended for airport transfers due to limited service and longer travel times.",

        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Fort Myers to San Juan?",
        "answer": "The cheapest months to fly from Fort Myers to San Juan are September, October, and August, with average fares around $495, $509, and $540 respectively. The most expensive months are December, March, and June, where average prices climb to roughly $738, $696, and $677.",
        "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 Fort Myers to San Juan?",
        "answer": "For the best fare from Fort Myers to San Juan, book about 9 to 11 weeks ahead, when round-trip prices average around $549. During peak summer and holiday periods, demand can push fares higher, so it’s wise to lock in tickets 10 to 12 weeks out for those travel dates.",
        "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.",

        "question": "Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from Fort Myers to San Juan?",
        "answer": "No nonstop red‑eyes operate from Fort Myers (RSW) to San Juan (SJU). A connecting itinerary exists where the long leg is an overnight flight: United Airlines from Houston (IAH) to San Juan departs at 11:56 PM and arrives at 5:29 AM, connecting from a Fort Myers–Houston United flight with about a 5‑hour layover.",
        "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": "If I need a connection, what are common layover cities between Fort Myers and San Juan?",

        "question": "How reliable are on‑time departures on this route from Fort Myers to San Juan?",
        "answer": "On‑time performance is generally reliable, though afternoon thunderstorms can cause delays. Early morning flights on carriers like Southwest or JetBlue offer the best odds for a punctual departure."

        "question": "Which airport should I use in San Juan?",
        "answer": "San Juan has one main airport, Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport, which serves all commercial flights and is located about 3 miles from downtown."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Page Field from the city center?",
        "answer": "Page Field is a small general aviation airport with limited public transit; LeeTran does not directly serve the terminal, but a short taxi or ride-share from downtown Fort Myers takes about 10–15 minutes. Ride-hailing (Uber, Lyft) and taxis are the most popular and reliable options, while driving and parking on-site is free and convenient if you have a car. There are no dedicated shuttle buses, so a ride-share or taxi is the fastest way to reach the airport.",

The exact aircraft can vary by day and airline, and Wi‑Fi and seatback entertainment are widely available on these modern types.",
