        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Mexicali to Mexico?",
        "answer": "Flights from Mexicali to Mexico City are generally cheapest in late winter and early fall, especially February and September through October, when demand dips between holiday peaks. Flying midweek, particularly on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and choosing early-morning or late-night departures tends to yield lower fares. Peak summer months and major holidays like Christmas and Easter are usually more expensive.",
        "methodology": "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. Stop counts, connecting hubs, and per-airline prices are drawn from a large sample of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. We group those fares by number of stops, by the hub airport a connection routes through, and by operating airline, and report each group's share of the sample alongside its lowest and median price. 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."

        "answer": "Mexicali is already in Mexico, so if you are a U.S. citizen traveling from Mexicali to another part of Mexico, you are simply moving within the country and no visa is needed. However, if you are entering Mexico from the U.S. at Mexicali, you generally do not need a visa for short tourist visits, but you must have a valid passport and may need to fill out a tourist card upon entry. Rules can change, so always verify current requirements before you travel."

Cancun and Los Cabos are best for beach resorts, while Guadalajara works well for central and Pacific coast travel.
