      "q6": {
        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from United States to Kenya?",
        "answer": "The cheapest months to fly from the US to Kenya are April, September, and October, when fares dip well below the summer and December holiday peaks. You'll generally find the lowest prices by booking 6–9 weeks ahead, departing midweek (Sunday through Wednesday) and in the afternoon or evening rather than on Saturdays or in the early morning. Avoid June–July and the December holiday season, when fares are highest.",
        "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."

      "q7": {
        "question": "How far in advance should I book flights from United States to Kenya?",
        "answer": "For flights from the United States to Kenya, the best time to book is typically 8 to 12 weeks before departure, though you should book even earlier — around 14 to 16 weeks out — if traveling during peak safari season (July–October) or major holidays in either country."
      },
      "q8": {
        "question": "Do I need a visa to travel from United States to Kenya?",
        "answer": "Travellers from the United States to Kenya generally need a visa, which can be obtained as an electronic visa (eVisa) before travel. Requirements vary by nationality and purpose of visit, so you should confirm current rules with Kenyan immigration authorities before booking."
      },
      "q10": {
        "question": "How easy is it to travel within Kenya after I arrive?",
        "answer": "In Kenya, domestic flights connect Nairobi with major towns and safari areas like Mombasa, Kisumu, and the Maasai Mara. Trains and buses offer cheaper but slower options. Arriving in Nairobi gives the best connections for onward travel by air or road."
