      },
      "q5": {
        "question": "How far in advance should I book flights from San Antonio to Canada?",
        "answer": "For flights from San Antonio to Canada, the optimal booking window is about 12–15 weeks before departure, when average fares are around $507, though the absolute cheapest fares tend to appear around 100 days out at roughly $477.",
        "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 Canada?",
        "answer": "Top Canadian gateways from the U.S. include Toronto for its multicultural scene, Vancouver for mountains and ocean, Montreal for French flair, Calgary as a Rockies access point and Quebec City for old-world charm."
      },
      "q7": {
        "question": "Do I need a visa to travel from San Antonio to Canada?",
        "answer": "For United States citizens traveling from San Antonio to Canada, entry is visa-free for a short tourist visit. No electronic travel authorization is required.\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 Canada are best to fly into from San Antonio?",

        "question": "When is the best time of year to visit Canada?",
        "answer": "For Canada, May to June and September to early October usually offer comfortable weather and thinner crowds across top gateways such as Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal.

      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to San Antonio Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "Getting from downtown San Antonio to San Antonio International Airport is easiest by ride-share (Uber/Lyft) or taxi, which take about 15-20 minutes and are the most popular for door-to-door convenience; public transit is limited to VIA Metropolitan Transit buses that require a transfer and take longer, while shared shuttle vans are a budget middle option. Driving yourself is straightforward via U.S. 281 or Loop 410, with on-site parking garages and economy lots costing more for closer spots but less for remote ones. Ride-share and taxis are fastest and most popular, while public buses are cheapest but slowest.",
