        "question": "Which cities in Puerto Rico can I fly to from Greenville?",
        "answer": "From Greenville you will connect through a hub like Charlotte or Atlanta before arriving in San Juan, the main gateway. From San Juan you can take a short flight or ferry to the islands of Vieques or Culebra, or drive to other parts of the main island."

      },
      "q4": {
        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Greenville to Puerto Rico?",
        "answer": "The cheapest months to fly from Greenville to San Juan are September, October, August, and February, while peak summer and the December holidays are the most expensive. Booking about 14 to 16 weeks ahead tends to yield the best fares, and midweek departures — especially Tuesday and Wednesday — are usually cheaper than weekend flights. Early-morning and late-evening departures often offer lower prices than midday, but the biggest savings come from traveling in the late-summer and early-fall low season.",
        "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 Greenville to Puerto Rico?",
        "answer": "For flights from Greenville to San Juan, the optimal booking window is about 14 to 16 weeks before departure, when fares average around $569 — booking too late (under 4 weeks) can push prices above $700.",

        "question": "What are the most popular cities to visit in Puerto Rico?",

      },
      "q8": {
        "question": "Which airports in Puerto Rico are best to fly into from Greenville?",
        "answer": "From Greenville to Puerto Rico, San Juan Luis Muñoz Marín is the primary gateway with the most flight options and easy access to the whole island. Aguadilla on the west coast and Ponce in the south serve regional travel and resorts but have fewer direct connections from the U.S."
      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "When is the best time of year to visit Puerto Rico?",
        "answer": "Mid-April to June and September to mid-December offer a good balance of pleasant weather and lower prices in Puerto Rico, with fewer crowds than the busy summer and winter holiday periods."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Spartanburg Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "Getting to Greenville–Spartanburg International Airport from downtown Greenville is easiest by car, with driving and parking being the most popular option since the airport is about 15 minutes east of the city center off I‑85. Ride‑share services like Uber and Lyft are available and pick up at the terminal curb, while taxis and hotel shuttles are also options. No fixed‑route public transit runs directly to the airport, so driving, ride‑share, or a taxi are the practical choices. Driving yourself is typically fastest and most flexible, though ride‑share is often the most popular for visitors without a car.",
