        "answer": "The cheapest time to fly from Yangon to Malaysia is typically during the rainy season months of May through October, when demand dips and fares soften. Flying midweek, especially on Tuesdays or Wednesdays, and choosing early-morning or late-night departures tends to yield the best prices, while peak summer travel and major holidays like Thingyan or Hari Raya push fares higher.",
        "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."
