        "question": "Which cities in Peru can I fly to from Boston?",

      },
      "q4": {
        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Boston to Peru?",
        "answer": "The cheapest months to fly from Boston to Lima are April, November, and March, while peak summer (June–August) and the December holidays are the most expensive. Booking about 7 to 10 weeks ahead typically yields the best fares, and you'll often save by departing on a Thursday and choosing an early-morning flight rather than traveling on a Monday or at midday.",
        "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 Peru?",

        "question": "What are the most popular cities to visit in Peru?",
        "answer": "In Peru, most travelers land in Lima, then fly to Cusco for Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley. Arequipa offers colonial charm and Colca Canyon, while Iquitos is the gateway to the Amazon. Puno, on Lake Titicaca, is reachable by train or bus from Cusco."

        "question": "Do I need a visa to travel from Boston to Peru?",
        "answer": "As a U.S. citizen, you do not need a visa for tourist visits to Peru of up to 183 days. No electronic travel authorization is required, but entry rules can change, so confirm current requirements before departure."

      "q8": {
        "question": "Which airports in Peru are best to fly into from Boston?",
        "answer": "From Boston to Peru, Lima Jorge Chávez International Airport is the primary gateway with the most long-haul options and connections to domestic flights. Cusco’s airport is best for direct access to Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley, though you will likely connect through Lima. Arequipa and Iquitos serve regional travel and Amazon or Colca Canyon trips but have limited international service."

      "q12": {
        "question": "When is the best time of year to visit Peru?",
        "answer": "For Peru, May to September is the dry season, ideal for hiking the Inca Trail and visiting Cusco and Lima, though it is peak tourist time. October to April sees rain but fewer crowds and lower prices."
