        "question": "Which cities in Jamaica can I fly to from Boston?",
        "answer": "From Boston you can fly non-stop to Montego Bay, the main airport for beach resorts. You can also connect through U.S. hubs to Kingston for business or culture, or to Ocho Rios via Ian Fleming International Airport, though service is limited. Most leisure travelers pick Montego Bay for direct access to Negril and Ocho Rios by road transfer."

        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Boston to Jamaica?",
        "answer": "The cheapest months to fly from Boston to Jamaica are September, October, and May, with September being the most affordable; peak summer, December holidays, and February–March are notably more expensive. Midweek departures — especially Wednesday and Thursday — tend to be cheaper than weekend or Monday flights, and morning departures offer the lowest fares. Booking about 22 to 25 weeks ahead (roughly 5–6 months) typically yields the best price, while last-minute tickets cost significantly more.",
        "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. 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. 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": "How far in advance should I book flights from Boston to Jamaica?",
        "answer": "For flights from Boston to Jamaica, the optimal booking window is about 22 to 25 weeks ahead, when average fares drop to around $613, while booking last-minute can push prices near $800.",

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. The typical price, the lowest fare, a 'great deal' threshold, and how fares are spread across price bands are summarized from a large sample of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours, with a small fraction of extreme outlier fares excluded from the range."
