        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Boston to Fort Myers?",
        "answer": "The flight from Boston to Fort Myers covers about 1,250 miles. Nonstop flights on JetBlue or Delta typically take 3 hours and 33 minutes, while the return leg is about 3 hours and 15 minutes—the eastbound return is slightly shorter. If you connect, the total journey time is approximately 5 to 7 hours depending on the layover.",
        "methodology": "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.",

        "answer": "Yes, JetBlue and Delta both fly nonstop from Boston to Fort Myers daily. Together they offer up to 27 nonstop flights a day, with JetBlue alone operating about 15 departures spread from early morning through late evening and Delta adding roughly 7 more. The flight takes about 3 hours 33 minutes southbound and around 3 hours 15 minutes on the return.",

        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Boston to Fort Myers?",
        "answer": "The cheapest months to fly from Boston to Fort Myers are August, March, and May, with average fares around $312 to $331, while the most expensive months are December and November, averaging $526 and $525 respectively.",
        "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.",

        "question": "How far in advance should I book tickets from Boston to Fort Myers?",
        "answer": "For the Boston to Fort Myers route, the optimal booking window is 4 to 7 weeks before departure, with average fares around $167. Booking about 45 days out can yield the lowest price at $160, while last-minute bookings or very early purchases (6 months out) are significantly more expensive, peaking at $369.",
        "methodology": "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.",

        "methodology": "Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes — flagging services that depart late at night and arrive the following morning; for connecting itineraries the red-eye is based on the timing of the overnight long-haul leg.",

Logan Express buses provide direct service from Back Bay, Braintree, Danvers, Framingham, and Woburn. Ride‑share and taxis are convenient and popular for door‑to‑door convenience, while driving and parking at the airport is possible but often more expensive and subject to traffic.",
