      "q4": {
        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Athens to United States?",
        "answer": "The cheapest months to fly from Athens to the United States are April, November, September, and October, when average fares are lowest, while June, July, and May are the most expensive. Booking roughly 11 to 14 weeks ahead tends to yield the best prices, and midweek departures outside the peak summer and major holiday periods are generally cheaper than weekend or peak-season travel.",
        "methodology": "This 'good deal' estimate shows a representative best price for each departure date across roughly a 12-month window (about 3 months back and 9 months forward). It is built from real flight prices found by Priceline users searching this route, accumulated into a price history for each departure date. Rather than weighting all of that history equally, we apply exponential time decay so recent prices dominate — a price seen yesterday counts almost in full, one from about a month ago roughly a third, and prices from a few months back very little — giving a figure that tracks today's market instead of a stale long-run average. Clear price outliers are removed before any calculation, departure dates with no observations are filled in from nearby dates, and the resulting curve is lightly smoothed so it reads as a clean seasonal trend rather than day-to-day noise. This booking-window guidance is built from the same real flight prices found by Priceline users searching this route, re-grouped by how many days before departure each price was seen (from the departure day out to about 180 days ahead) across the route's price history. At each booking lead time we report the 25th-percentile price — the cheaper end of what travelers were quoted, rather than the rock-bottom minimum (which can be a fluke) or the average (which is pulled up by expensive last-minute fares). The buy-or-wait advice then applies a risk premium that grows as departure approaches, since seat availability shrinks and prices become less predictable; using that adjusted curve we flag windows where waiting is likely to save a meaningful amount (at least $20 or 5%) versus windows where booking now is the better call. Isolated single-day recommendations are filtered out, so the advice only reflects a window that holds for several days in a row. For this route, fares for the requested travel direction were unavailable, so the pattern shown is derived from the reverse direction, which shares the same seasonal demand cycle."

      "q5": {
        "question": "How far in advance should I book flights from Athens to United States?",
        "answer": "For flights from Athens to the United States, booking 11 to 14 weeks ahead typically yields the best fares, with prices averaging around $896 in that window and the absolute cheapest seen at $861 about six months out.",

Public buses, including the X93 from Kifissos Bus Terminal, stop at the departures level, and taxis are available at the designated waiting area by exit 3 of arrivals. Driving is easy via the Attiki Odos toll highway, with short-term parking in lots P1 and P2 and long-term parking in lot P3, where a free shuttle bus connects to the terminal. The metro is generally the fastest option, while buses and taxis offer alternatives at different price points, with taxis being the most expensive.",
