      "q4": {
        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Manila to Canada?",
        "answer": "From Manila to Canada, the cheapest departure day tends to be Saturday, with Monday and Sunday also offering lower fares compared to midweek, while Thursday is typically the priciest day to fly. Evening departures are the most affordable time of day, and late-night and morning flights can also be cheaper than midday and afternoon options. Peak summer months and major holiday periods are generally more expensive, so traveling during shoulder or off-peak seasons and booking well in advance usually yields the best deals.",
        "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."
      },
      "q5": {
        "question": "How far in advance should I book flights from Manila to Canada?",
        "answer": "For flights from Manila to Canada, aim to book around 10–14 weeks ahead for the best balance of availability and price, though booking 16–20 weeks out is safer for peak summer and holiday travel when demand spikes and lower fares sell out faster.",
        "methodology": "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. 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.

      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "When is the best time of year to visit Canada?",

      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Ninoy Aquino Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From Manila city center, the most popular option is the airport bus (UBE Express) which serves major hubs and terminals with frequent departures. Taxis and ride‑share services like Grab offer door‑to‑door convenience and are faster outside peak hours, though they cost more. Driving yourself is possible but parking fills up quickly and traffic is often heavy, so public transit or a booked ride is generally recommended.",
