        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from New York City to Haiti?",
        "answer": "The cheapest months to fly from New York City to Haiti are April, May, and September, while peak summer (July–August) and major holidays tend to be pricier. Booking about 8 to 11 weeks ahead typically yields the best fares, and flying midweek or during off-peak hours 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."

        "question": "How far in advance should I book flights from New York City to Haiti?",

        "question": "Do I need a visa to travel from New York City to Haiti?",
        "answer": "U.S. citizens traveling to Haiti for a short tourist visit do not need a visa but must hold a passport valid for at least six months. There is no electronic travel authorization requirement for Haiti, though entry rules can change, so verify current requirements before you go."

      "q8": {
        "question": "Which airports in Haiti are best to fly into from New York City?",
        "answer": "From New York City to Haiti, Port-au-Prince Toussaint Louverture International Airport is the primary gateway, serving as the main hub for international flights and onward connections to domestic destinations. Cap-Haïtien International Airport is a secondary option, convenient for visiting the northern region and the Citadelle Laferrière. There are no rail services in Haiti, so onward travel relies on domestic flights or road transport."
      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "When is the best time of year to visit Haiti?",
        "answer": "For Haiti, November to March is the dry season with pleasant temperatures and lower humidity, ideal for visiting Port-au-Prince or Cap-Haïtien. Summer brings heat, rain and hurricane risk, so spring and autumn are less reliable."
