      },
      "q5": {
        "question": "How far in advance should I book flights from Flores to Guatemala?",
        "answer": "For the short Flores to Guatemala City hop, booking about 4 to 8 weeks ahead is a practical window — this isn't a transatlantic route, so there's no strong seasonal premium to chase, and fares tend to stay in the $150–$255 range without huge swings.",
        "methodology": "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. Carrier service, flight times and distances for this route come from our flight-schedule database, which draws on published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data, and observed operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We report the days of the week and the departure times each carrier operates. The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time, given both per carrier and across all carriers on the route; where a schedule does not publish an elapsed time, it is derived from the scheduled departure and arrival times converted to UTC. Outbound and return times are computed by the same method, so the difference between them is directly comparable and reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in derivation. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two specific airports named, so an actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer. Where shown, on-time departure and arrival rates and cancellation rates come from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Airline On-Time Performance dataset, which covers U.S. domestic routes only; where a typical fare is shown, it comes from the U.S. DOT Airline Origin and Destination Survey (DB1B), a quarterly 10% sample of tickets sold. The typical price, the lowest fare, a 'great deal' threshold, and how fares are spread across price bands are summarized from a large sample of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours, with a small fraction of extreme outlier fares excluded from the range."

      "q6": {
        "question": "What are the most popular cities to visit in Guatemala?",
        "answer": "Flores itself is the gateway to Tikal and the Petén. From there you can fly or bus to Antigua for colonial charm and volcano hikes, Lake Atitlán for indigenous villages and scenery, and Guatemala City for museums and connections."
      },
      "q8": {
        "question": "Which airports in Guatemala are best to fly into from Flores?",
        "answer": "From Flores to Guatemala, La Aurora International Airport in Guatemala City is the primary gateway offering the most domestic and international connections, while Mundo Maya International Airport in Flores itself serves regional flights and is ideal for exploring the Petén region and Mayan ruins."
      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "When is the best time of year to visit Guatemala?",
        "answer": "For Guatemala, November to April is the dry season with sunny days and comfortable temperatures, making it the best time to visit. Summer (May to October) brings heavy rains and humidity, though prices may be lower."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Mundo Maya Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "Mundo Maya International Airport is located in the suburb of Santa Elena, just outside Flores, and is connected to the island town by a short causeway. The most popular and convenient option is a taxi or private shuttle, which is fast and inexpensive for the short drive from downtown Flores or Santa Elena. Ride-share services are not reliably available, but local taxis and tuk-tuks operate in the area and are the quickest door-to-door choice. Public buses linking Flores, Santa Elena, and San Benito pass near the airport and are the cheapest option, though they may take longer and require a short walk from the main road. Driving yourself is possible with parking at the airport, but most travelers find taxis or shuttles easiest for such a short distance.",
