      },
      "q4": {
        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Raleigh to Honduras?",
        "answer": "The cheapest months to fly from Raleigh to Honduras are April, October, and September, while December and July are the most expensive. Booking about 19 to 21 weeks ahead typically yields the best fares, and departing on a Sunday tends to be cheaper than later in the week. Morning departures often offer the lowest prices, and you'll want to avoid peak summer and the December holiday period when fares climb.",
        "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."

        "question": "What are the most popular cities to visit in Honduras?",
        "answer": "In Honduras, most visitors head to the Bay Islands, especially Roatán, for diving and beaches. The mainland offers Copán Ruinas for Mayan ruins, La Ceiba as a gateway to Pico Bonito National Park, and San Pedro Sula for business or access to nearby nature."
      },
      "q7": {
        "question": "Do I need a visa to travel from Raleigh to Honduras?",
        "answer": "For United States citizens traveling from Raleigh to Honduras, no visa is required for a short tourist visit. Entry is visa-free for this nationality.\n\nThis 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.",

      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Raleigh Durham Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Raleigh, you can reach Raleigh-Durham International Airport via public bus (GoTriangle Route 100 and the RDU Shuttle connect to the Regional Transit Center), taxi or ride-share (pick-up/drop-off at designated zones outside each terminal), or driving and parking on-site (Premier, Central, Economy, and Express lots with online booking). Ride-share and taxis are generally the most popular and convenient for direct door-to-door service, though driving yourself offers the most flexibility if you need a car at your destination. Public transit is the most budget-friendly option but requires a transfer and more time. Costs vary by mode, with buses being cheapest, taxis/ride-shares moderately priced, and parking fees depending on lot and duration.",
