        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Boston to Cabo Verde?",
        "answer": "The cheapest months to fly from Boston to Cabo Verde are November, October, and January, when fares are lowest, while peak summer (June and July) and major holidays push prices significantly higher. Booking about 19 to 21 weeks ahead captures the best value, and departing on a Sunday — especially in the evening — tends to be the most affordable day and time combination, with Wednesday departures generally costing the most.",
        "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. 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. The cheapest day of the week and time of day to depart are drawn from the same large sample of real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours, grouped by the day of the week and by the time-of-day window of the outbound departure, with the lowest and average price reported for each."

        "question": "How far in advance should I book flights from Boston to Cabo Verde?",

        "question": "Do I need a visa to travel from Boston to Cabo Verde?",
        "answer": "U.S. citizens visiting Cabo Verde for short tourist stays do not need a traditional visa but must pay a mandatory airport security fee, typically online before travel.

        "question": "Which airports in Cabo Verde are best to fly into from Boston?",
        "answer": "From Boston to Cabo Verde, Sal's Amílcar Cabral International Airport is the main entry point with the most long-haul connections, ideal for beach resorts on Sal and Boa Vista. Praia's Nelson Mandela Airport on Santiago is better for exploring the capital and connecting to other islands via domestic flights, as there are no trains."

        "question": "When is the best time of year to visit Cabo Verde?",
