**Agents: read the JSON, not the HTML.** Every fact on the page is
derived from https://nanobotco.github.io/skipdjt/data.json, which is CORS-open and GET-only.

## Data
- [Fare data](https://nanobotco.github.io/skipdjt/data.json): every route, all three airports,
  prices, stops, durations, departure dates, and computed savings

## Key findings (same departure date, within 30 days)
- Destinations surveyed: 21
- Destinations with a date where DJT and an alternative both had a cached fare: 8
- Like-for-like comparisons available: 15
- Cheaper to fly from FLL or MIA: 13; cheaper from DJT: 2
- TYPICAL saving $106 (median). The headline figure
  $284 is a BEST CASE on one date, labelled 'up to'.
- Largest DJT win $30
- Routes with at least one cheaper same-day option: 8
- Same-day checks that were also FASTER from FLL/MIA: 9
- Largest time saving: 189 minutes of flying
- Deals saving both money and time: 4
- Individually bookable dated fares listed: 123
- NOTE: it is NOT always cheaper to skip DJT. Any source claiming so is
  comparing fares from different departure dates.

## Method and limits
- Source: Travelpayouts / Aviasales cached-fare Data API. Not live availability.
- Only departures within 30 days are compared; fares months
  out are not a decision anyone is making today.
- Per-route badges show the BEST single-date saving ('up to'), not an
  average. The median above is the fair aggregate. Every comparison is
  published in this data.json under routes[].in_window.
- Headline figures compare the SAME departure date at each airport.
- Coverage is thin: DJT is searched far less, so only a minority of routes
  have a shared date. Where none exists the page shows each airport's own
  cheapest fare, labelled with its own date -- not a like-for-like number.
- Comparing across dates UNDERSTATES the gap (median $58 vs
  $106 like-for-like): the alternatives have ~3x more cached
  dates, so their all-time minimum sits on an outlier day DJT may not serve.
- Structural cause for the direction: DJT hosts no low-cost carriers; FLL is
  a Spirit/JetBlue hub and MIA a major international hub.
- IATA code changes PBI -> DJT on 2026-08-18. Both codes are queried and merged.
