Since the island is small, all resorts and beaches are a short drive from the airport, so you do not need to choose between cities."

        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Fort Lauderdale to Aruba?",
        "answer": "The cheapest months to fly from Fort Lauderdale to Aruba are February, September, and May, while peak summer and December holidays run noticeably higher. Booking about 6 to 9 weeks ahead tends to yield the best fares, and departing midweek — especially Wednesday — or in the evening can help keep costs down.",
        "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."

      "q5": {
        "question": "How far in advance should I book flights from Fort Lauderdale to Aruba?",

      "q6": {
        "question": "What are the most popular cities to visit in Aruba?",
        "answer": "In Aruba, most visitors stay near Oranjestad for shopping and dining, Eagle Beach and Palm Beach for resorts and watersports, and San Nicolas for street art and local culture. Arikok National Park offers desert landscapes and caves. All are within a short drive from Queen Beatrix International Airport, as the island is only 20 miles long."

      "q7": {
        "question": "Do I need a visa to travel from Fort Lauderdale to Aruba?",
        "answer": "U.S. citizens do not need a visa for tourist stays of up to 30 days in Aruba. You must hold a valid U.S. passport and may need to complete an online Embarkation/Disembarkation card before travel. Entry rules can change, so verify current requirements close to your departure."
      },
      "q8": {
        "question": "Which airports in Aruba are best to fly into from Fort Lauderdale?",
        "answer": "Aruba has only one international airport, Queen Beatrix International Airport near Oranjestad. It handles all direct flights from Fort Lauderdale and the rest of the U.S., so your choice is simple. The island is small enough that most resorts and beaches are a short drive away without needing onward trains or regional flights."
      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "When is the best time of year to visit Aruba?",
        "answer": "Aruba lies outside the hurricane belt and enjoys consistent warmth year-round. Mid-December to mid-April is peak season with higher prices. For a balance of good weather and lower rates, visit mid-April through June or September to early December, avoiding winter holidays."
