      },
      "q5": {
        "question": "How far in advance should I book flights from New York City to Colombia?",
        "answer": "For flights from New York City to Colombia, the best time to book is about 6 to 9 weeks ahead of departure, when fares average around $595.",
        "methodology": "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."

      "q6": {
        "question": "What are the most popular cities to visit in Colombia?",

      },
      "q7": {
        "question": "Do I need a visa to travel from New York City to Colombia?",
        "answer": "For United States citizens traveling from New York City to Colombia, a visa is not required for a short tourist visit. Entry is visa-free for this nationality.\n\nA quick note: this is general guidance to help you plan, not official immigration advice — entry rules can change and can depend on your nationality and circumstances, so please confirm the current requirements with the relevant embassy or official government source before you travel.",

        "question": "Which airports in Colombia are best to fly into from New York City?",
        "answer": "From New York City to Colombia, El Dorado International Airport in Bogotá is the main entry point with the most direct flights and best connections to domestic and regional destinations. José María Córdova Airport in Medellín is another strong option for those heading to the coffee region or Antioquia, while Rafael Núñez Airport in Cartagena works well for beach vacations on the Caribbean coast. Bogotá is the hub for onward buses and domestic flights, as Colombia has no long-distance passenger rail network."

      "q12": {
        "question": "When is the best time of year to visit Colombia?",
        "answer": "For Colombia, December to March and July to August are drier across much of the country, including Bogotá, Medellín and Cartagena. These periods coincide with higher demand and prices. April to June and September to November see more rain but fewer tourists and lower costs."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to John F Kennedy Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "The fastest and most popular way to reach John F. Kennedy International Airport from Midtown Manhattan is the AirTrain JFK combined with either the Long Island Rail Road from Penn Station or Grand Central Madison, or the subway (E, J, or Z lines to Jamaica/Sutphin Blvd, or the A line to Howard Beach), which takes roughly 20 minutes to the AirTrain station plus a short ride to the terminals. The AirTrain itself costs $8 per ride, with LIRR or subway fares added on top, making public transit the budget-friendly choice. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft, as well as yellow taxis, offer door-to-door convenience but are more expensive and subject to traffic on the Van Wyck Expressway. Driving yourself is possible, with on-airport parking available, but it is generally the least cost-effective for longer trips due to parking fees.",
