        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Praya to Malaysia?",
        "answer": "Nonstop flights from Praya to Malaysia serve Kuala Lumpur on AirAsia, Malindo Air, and Indonesia AirAsia, with departures throughout the day. Specific seasonal and booking-timing data for this route isn't available, but in general the cheapest months to fly from Lombok to Malaysia tend to be during the shoulder seasons — February to early May and September to early November — outside the mid-year peak and year-end holidays. Midweek departures (Tuesday and Wednesday) and early-afternoon flights often offer lower fares, while peak summer and major holidays like Idul Fitri and Christmas/New Year are usually more expensive.",
        "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. Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours."

        "question": "What are the most popular cities to visit in Malaysia?",

      },
      "q8": {
        "question": "Which airports in Malaysia are best to fly into from Praya?",
        "answer": "From Praya to Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur International Airport is the primary gateway with the most connections and easy access to the rest of the country via rail and road. Penang is a good alternative if you want to start in the northwest near beaches and heritage areas. Kota Kinabalu suits those heading to Borneo for nature and resorts."
      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "When is the best time of year to visit Malaysia?",
        "answer": "For Malaysia, the west coast including Kuala Lumpur and Penang is driest from December to March, while the east coast including the Perhentian Islands is best from March to September. Shoulder months like March and September can offer a balance of decent weather and fewer crowds than peak holiday periods."

      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Lombok Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From Lombok's city center (Mataram or Praya), the most popular way to reach Lombok International Airport is by taxi or ride‑share, taking about 40–60 minutes and costing more than the other options. DAMRI public buses also run to the airport and are the cheapest, though they can be slower and less frequent. Driving yourself is possible and parking is available at the airport, but traffic can be heavy. Shared shuttle services from hotels or travel agents offer a middle‑ground in terms of cost and convenience.",
