        "question": "Which cities in El Salvador can I fly to from Orlando?",
        "answer": "From Orlando you most often fly non-stop into San Salvador, the country's only major international airport. From there you can connect domestically or by road to cities like Santa Ana and San Miguel. Most travelers fly into San Salvador regardless of their final destination inside El Salvador."

      "q1": {
        "question": "How long is the flight from Orlando to El Salvador?",
        "answer": "Non-stop flights from Orlando to San Salvador take about 2 hours 45 minutes to 3 hours. One-stop itineraries through hubs like Miami or Houston often range from 5 to 8 hours total, with westbound returns sometimes slightly shorter due to tailwinds."

      },
      "q4": {
        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Orlando to El Salvador?",
        "answer": "The cheapest months to fly from Orlando to El Salvador are May, April, and June, with fares climbing sharply in December and around the November–March high season. Tuesdays tend to offer the lowest prices, while Sundays are the most expensive, and morning or afternoon departures are typically more affordable than late-night flights. Booking about 10 to 13 weeks ahead usually yields the best fare, and you can expect peak summer and major holidays to be pricier.",
        "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. 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. 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."

        "question": "How far in advance should I book flights from Orlando to El Salvador?",
        "answer": "For flights from Orlando to El Salvador, the sweet spot is booking 10 to 13 weeks ahead, when fares average around $471, with the absolute cheapest day to book being about 90 days before departure at $469.",

Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. 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."

        "answer": "From Orlando to El Salvador, the main international airport is Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport near San Salvador. It receives most long-haul flights from the U.S. and offers the best onward connections by road to beaches and regional destinations. There are no domestic train networks, so buses or rental cars are the primary onward options. The smaller Ilopango Airport handles mostly private and charter flights."

        "question": "How do I get to Orlando Executive Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "Orlando Executive Airport is a general aviation reliever airport about 3 miles east of downtown Orlando, so the fastest and most popular option is a rideshare or taxi, which takes roughly 10 to 15 minutes and is relatively inexpensive for the short distance. Public transportation is limited, with no direct rail or shuttle service from the city center, though local buses can get you within a mile or so of the field. Driving yourself is also easy, with free or low-cost short-term parking available right at the terminal, and there are no shuttle buses specifically for this airport.",
