        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Beijing to Malaysia?",
        "answer": "The cheapest months to fly from Beijing to Malaysia are typically during the shoulder seasons — February through April and September through early November — when demand dips outside of major holidays, while peak summer (July–August) and Chinese New Year / Golden Week periods see the highest fares. Flying midweek, especially Tuesday or Wednesday, and choosing early-morning or late-evening departures tends to yield lower prices than weekend or midday flights. Booking about 6 to 10 weeks ahead usually offers the best balance between availability and price, though last-minute deals are rare on this popular corridor.",
        "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. 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."
