        "answer": "The cheapest time to fly from Beijing to Korea is generally during the off-peak months outside of summer (July–August) and major holidays like Chinese New Year and Chuseok, when demand and fares spike. Midweek departures — especially Tuesday and Wednesday — tend to be cheaper than weekend flights, and early-morning or late-evening departures often offer lower fares than midday options. Booking about 4 to 8 weeks ahead typically secures the best balance of availability and price, while last-minute tickets and peak-season seats can cost significantly more.",
        "methodology": "Carrier service and weekly frequencies are summarized 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). Where available, on-time and cancellation rates come from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Airline On-Time Performance dataset, and typical fares 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."
