        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Miami to Mexico?",
        "answer": "The cheapest months to fly from Miami to Mexico City are September, October, and August, with late summer and early fall offering the lowest fares before prices climb sharply in December. Booking 9 to 11 weeks ahead typically yields the best rates, and departing on a Tuesday or in the afternoon tends to be cheaper than weekend or late-night flights. Peak summer and major holiday periods like Christmas and spring break are usually more expensive.",
        "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."

Metrobus and Tri-Rail also serve the airport, and ride-share services and taxis pick up on the arrival level outside baggage claim. Driving is possible with several parking options, including an economy Park & Ride lot, but ride-share or taxi is often the fastest door-to-door choice, while public transit is the cheapest.",
