Midweek departures — especially Tuesdays and Wednesdays — and early-morning or late-night flights tend to offer the lowest fares, while peak summer travel (June–August) and major holiday periods like Diwali and year-end see significantly higher prices.", "methodology": "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. Stop counts, connecting hubs, and per-airline prices are drawn from a large sample of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. We group those fares by number of stops, by the hub airport a connection routes through, and by operating airline, and report each group's share of the sample alongside its lowest and median price. The typical price, the lowest fare, a 'great deal' threshold, and how fares are spread across price bands are summarized from a large sample of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours, with a small fraction of extreme outlier fares excluded from the range."}, "q6": {"question": "What are the most popular cities to visit in Malaysia?", "answer": "In Malaysia, top cities include Kuala Lumpur for its iconic Petronas Towers and street food, Penang for colonial George Town and cuisine, Langkawi for beaches, Malacca for history, and Kota Kinabalu for nature and Mount Kinabalu.

Summer months see peak tourism and higher prices, while spring and autumn offer a balance of decent weather and lighter crowds."}, "q13": {"question": "How do I get to Chhatrapati Shivaji Intl Airport from the city center?", "answer": "From downtown Mumbai, the fastest and most popular option is typically a pre-paid taxi or app-based ride (Uber/Ola) taking 45–75 minutes depending on traffic. A cheaper alternative is the Mumbai Suburban Railway: take a Western Line train to Andheri (for the international terminal) or Vile Parle (for the domestic terminal), then a short auto-rickshaw or bus ride; this is very affordable but can be crowded. The new Metro Line 3 (Aqua Line) also serves the airport directly via CSMIA Airport T2 and T1 stations, offering a fast, air-conditioned link from key city stations. BEST buses connect the terminals to nearby railway stations, and driving/parking is possible but often discouraged due to heavy congestion and limited parking.", "toolsUsed": ["article_lookup"], "references": [{"url": "https://airport-suppliers.com/airport/chhatrapati-shivaji-maharaj-international-airport", "title": "Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport - Airport Suppliers", "time_published": "2025-08-21T08:29:33Z"}, {"url": "https://csmia-mumbai.adaniairports.com/en/airport-facilities/transport", "title": "Transport Facility at Mumbai Airport: Cabs, Taxi, Inter terminal Bus, Auto Rickshaw & more", "favicon": "https://csmia-mumbai.adaniairports.com/assets/mumbai/images/favicon-16x16.png"}, {"url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1343053771&oldid=1340819388&title=Chhatrapati_Shivaji_Maharaj_International_Airport", "title": "Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport: Difference between revisions - Wikipedia", "time_published": "2026-02-27T00:00:00Z"}, {"url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chhatrapati_Shivaji_International_Airport", "title": "Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport", "time_published": "2026-04-16T11:49:22Z"}, {"url": "https://civilaviation.gov.in/taxonomy/term/208", "title": "Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, Mumbai | Ministry of Civil Aviation", "time_published": "2026-04-30T11:04:08Z"}]}}}}
