      "q5": {
        "question": "How far in advance should I book flights from Charleston to Jamaica?",
        "answer": "For flights from Charleston to Jamaica, aim to book about 19 to 21 weeks ahead — roughly 4.5 to 5 months — when fares average around $485, though you can sometimes find the lowest price around 150 days out at about $453.",
        "methodology": "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. 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": {
        "question": "What are the most popular cities to visit in Jamaica?",

      },
      "q7": {
        "question": "Do I need a visa to travel from Charleston to Jamaica?",

      },
      "q8": {
        "question": "Which airports in Jamaica are best to fly into from Charleston?",
        "answer": "From Charleston to Jamaica, Montego Bay is the top choice for resort stays on the north coast, while Kingston is better for business or reaching the east. Both require a connection, usually through Miami or Charlotte, and there are no direct trains, so plan on a shuttle or taxi to your final destination."
      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "When is the best time of year to visit Jamaica?",
