        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Mexico City to United States?",
        "answer": "The cheapest months to fly from Mexico City to the United States are September, October, and May, while peak summer and the December holidays are notably more expensive. Booking about three to six weeks ahead yields the best fares, and flying midweek rather than on weekends typically helps keep costs down.",
        "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. For this route, fares for the requested travel direction were unavailable, so the pattern shown is derived from the reverse direction, which shares the same seasonal demand cycle."

      "q5": {
        "question": "How far in advance should I book flights from Mexico City to United States?",
        "answer": "For flights from Mexico City to the United States, the optimal booking window is about 4 to 6 weeks before departure, when average fares drop to around $484–$561.",

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. For this route, fares for the requested travel direction were unavailable, so the pattern shown is derived from the reverse direction, which shares the same seasonal demand cycle."

        "question": "How do I get to Benito Juárez Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Mexico City, the Metrobús Line 4 'Quetzalcóatl' route is currently the most agile and recommended public option, connecting from Amajac station near Paseo de la Reforma to both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 for 30 pesos. Ride-share and taxis are also readily available and offer door-to-door convenience at a higher cost, while driving is discouraged due to ongoing airport remodeling that has temporarily reduced parking capacity. The Metro system provides a very cheap alternative (5 pesos per trip) but requires a transfer and is less direct than the Metrobús.",
