Choose Athens for history and ferry connections, Thessaloniki for northern Greece, or the islands for beach stays."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "How long is the flight from Firá to Greece?",
        "answer": "Since Firá is on Santorini, a domestic flight from Santorini Airport (JTR) to Athens takes about 45–50 minutes non‑stop. To Thessaloniki, you’ll usually connect in Athens, making the total journey roughly 2½ to 3½ hours."
      },

        "question": "Are there direct flights from Firá to Greece?",
        "answer": "Firá is the main town on Santorini island, served by Santorini Airport (JTR).

      },
      "q3": {
        "question": "Which airlines fly from Firá to Greece?",

      },
      "q5": {
        "question": "How far in advance should I book flights from Firá to Greece?",
        "answer": "For flights from Santorini to Athens, booking about 6–10 weeks ahead typically secures a good fare, though shoulder-season trips can often be booked closer in, while peak summer and holidays may require a bit more lead time.",
        "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. The typical price, the lowest fare, a 'great deal' threshold, and how fares are spread across price bands are summarized from a large sample of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours, with a small fraction of extreme outlier fares excluded from the range."

      },
      "q8": {
        "question": "Which airports in Greece are best to fly into from Firá?",
        "answer": "From the United States, you cannot fly directly to Firá. Santorini Airport handles seasonal connections from Athens and other European hubs, so you will likely connect through Athens International Airport, which has the most long-haul options from the U.S. and excellent domestic flight and ferry links to the islands."
