// FAQs
const LUXURY_FAQS = [
  {
    q: "Is luxury travel worth the price premium?",
    a: "For specific experiences, yes — a Maldives overwater villa, a Kyoto ryokan, a Swiss mountain lodge in winter. These exist at one tier of quality that genuinely cannot be replicated at a lower price point. For generic five-star hotels in major cities, often no — you're paying for the brand, not a meaningfully different experience. The question is always: what is the specific thing I want that only exists at this price?"
  },
  {
    q: "How far in advance should I book a luxury trip?",
    a: "High-demand properties and seasons: 9–12 months. Peak Maldives (January), peak Amalfi (July — which you should avoid anyway), major Michelin restaurants in France: 60 days minimum, often 90. Shoulder season in most destinations: 3–4 months is usually sufficient. The premium properties fill faster than their prices suggest. Don't optimize for flexibility if the property is the point."
  },
  {
    q: "What's the difference between five-star and a boutique hotel?",
    a: "Five-star means the property has passed a formal inspection against a checklist. Boutique means the property has been designed by someone who cared and runs to fewer than 50 rooms. These categories overlap but are not the same thing. The best boutique hotels deliver a more personal experience than a five-star chain — the breakfast is better because someone thought about it. The five-star chain delivers consistency across 400 rooms. Know which problem you're solving."
  },
  {
    q: "Should I use a luxury travel agent or book directly?",
    a: "For complex itineraries (multi-country, safari, villa + extension), a specialist travel consultant earns their fee easily. For simpler trips, book direct with the property — you get a better upgrade odds and direct relationships matter. For Virtuoso-affiliated agents: they have room-upgrade benefits and amenity credits that aren't available direct, for zero additional cost to you. Worth using for Paris or Maldives where upgrades have meaningful value."
  },
  {
    q: "What is the best time of year for the Maldives?",
    a: "November through April is dry season and the benchmark window. January and February offer the best visibility for diving and the driest days. December is peak demand — book overwater villas 12 months out or find they're gone. May through October is the wet season, with the Southwest Monsoon. Some atolls stay dry, and rates drop 30–40%. For pure certainty: January. For value: late May through early June."
  },
  {
    q: "How do you pack for a luxury trip?",
    a: "Capsule wardrobe, soft luggage, and valet pressing is included everywhere that charges this rate. The formula: four outfits that can be mixed, two pairs of shoes, one formal option. Luxury properties have laundry services — factor this in and pack for one week regardless of trip length. The one thing to never check: whatever you cannot replace. Everything else, check it."
