        "question": "Which cities in Colombia can I fly to from Baltimore?",
        "answer": "From Baltimore/Washington (BWI) there are no non-stop flights to Colombia. You will connect through a U.S. hub like Miami, Fort Lauderdale, or Atlanta to reach Bogotá, Medellín, or Cartagena. Bogotá is the main international gateway and cultural hub, Medellín is known for innovation and spring-like weather, and Cartagena offers a historic Caribbean coast experience. Choose based on your itinerary: Bogotá for central Andean trips, Medellín for coffee region access, and Cartagena for beach getaways."

Non-stop flights are not available from BWI, so all routes require at least one stop, and westbound returns are usually slightly shorter due to prevailing winds."

      },
      "q5": {
        "question": "How far in advance should I book flights from Baltimore to Colombia?",
        "answer": "For flights from Baltimore/Washington to Colombia, the optimal booking window is about 3 to 6 weeks before departure, when fares average around $535, with the very lowest prices appearing roughly 25 days out.",
        "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."

      "q6": {

      },
      "q7": {
        "question": "Do I need a visa to travel from Baltimore to Colombia?",
        "answer": "U.S. citizens do not need a visa for tourist visits to Colombia of up to 90 days. You only need a valid U.S. passport, and no electronic travel authorization is required. Entry rules can change, so check with the Colombian embassy or consulate before traveling."
      },
      "q8": {
        "question": "Which airports in Colombia are best to fly into from Baltimore?",
        "answer": "From Baltimore to Colombia, El Dorado in Bogotá is the main entry point with the most connections from the U.S. and good domestic links. José María Córdova near Medellín is a solid alternative for the coffee region, while Rafael Núñez in Cartagena works well for Caribbean coast getaways."
      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "When is the best time of year to visit Colombia?",
