        "question": "How far in advance should I book flights from Culiacán to Mexico?",
        "answer": "For the Culiacán to Mexico City route, booking about 4 to 8 weeks ahead is a practical window — it's a busy domestic corridor with frequent Aeroméxico and Volaris service, so you'll find steady availability without needing the long lead times typical of transatlantic travel.",
        "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."
