        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Bangkok to Israel?",
        "answer": "From Bangkok to Tel Aviv, the departure timing data suggests Wednesday departures appear in the fare sample, and late-night flights tend to offer the lowest fares compared to morning or midday departures. For broader seasonality, flights are generally cheaper in the shoulder months like October–November and February–March, while peak summer (June–August) and major Jewish holidays in September/October and April typically see higher prices. Booking about two to three months ahead usually gives the best balance of availability and price on this route.",
        "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."
      },
      "q5": {
        "question": "How far in advance should I book flights from Bangkok to Israel?",
        "answer": "For flights from Bangkok to Israel, aim to book about 8 to 12 weeks ahead — that's typically when you'll find the best balance of availability and price, especially for the cheaper connecting itineraries via hubs like Addis Ababa or Dubai.",
        "methodology": "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."
