        "question": "Which cities in El Salvador can I fly to from Boston?",
        "answer": "From Boston you will fly into San Salvador (SAL), the only international airport handling U.S. flights. There are no non-stop flights, so you connect through hubs like Miami, Atlanta, or Houston. From San Salvador you can reach beaches, volcanoes, and colonial towns by road."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "How long is the flight from Boston to El Salvador?",
        "answer": "From Boston to San Salvador, one-stop flights typically take 7 to 9 hours total including the layover. Non-stop service is not currently available, so all options require a connection, often in a southern U.S. hub. Return flights are similar in duration."
      },
      "q2": {
        "question": "Are there direct flights from Boston to El Salvador?",
        "answer": "There are no non-stop flights from Boston to El Salvador. Most itineraries connect through a southern U.S. hub such as Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Houston or Atlanta. You can also route via San Salvador on Avianca with a stop in San Salvador itself, though that often appears as a connecting itinerary. Total travel time is typically 7½ to 10 hours, depending on the connection."
      },
      "q3": {
        "question": "Which airlines fly from Boston to El Salvador?",
        "answer": "From Boston to El Salvador you can fly Avianca, United, American, Delta, Copa, and other carriers via their hubs."
      },
      "q4": {
        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Boston to El Salvador?",
        "answer": "The cheapest months to fly from Boston to El Salvador are April, May, and September, with fares typically lowest on Wednesdays and in morning departures. Booking about 9 to 11 weeks ahead tends to offer the best prices, while peak summer, Thanksgiving, and the December holidays are usually more expensive.",
        "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 Boston to El Salvador?",
        "answer": "For flights from Boston to El Salvador, the sweet spot is booking 9 to 11 weeks ahead, when fares average around $573 — waiting until the last minute can push prices above $670.",

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."

        "question": "Which airports in El Salvador are best to fly into from Boston?",
        "answer": "From Boston to El Salvador, the only practical gateway is San Salvador Airport, which handles all long-haul flights from the U.S. and connects well to the coast and interior by road. There are no domestic rail services, so onward travel relies on buses or rental cars."

        "question": "When is the best time of year to visit El Salvador?",
        "answer": "The dry season from November to April offers the best balance of sunny weather and reasonable prices. May to October is the rainy season with lower prices but more humidity and afternoon showers. Summer months see higher prices and more visitors."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Logan Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Boston, the most popular and economical way to reach Logan Airport is the MBTA Silver Line SL1 bus, which runs directly from South Station to every terminal and is free when traveling from the airport into the city, though a standard subway fare applies in the other direction. The Blue Line subway to Airport Station plus a free shuttle is another low-cost public transit option, while ride-share services like Uber and Lyft, taxis, and the Logan Express bus from Back Bay offer faster door-to-door convenience at a higher cost. Driving yourself is possible with on-site Central Parking, Economy Parking, and terminal garages, with advance reservations available at a discount. For a scenic alternative, the MBTA ferry connects downtown Long Wharf to the airport's Water Transportation Dock followed by a free shuttle.",
