One-stop options via Middle Eastern hubs like Dubai or Doha also offer access to smaller Turkish airports."

        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Bangkok to Turkey?",
        "answer": "Seasonal and booking-timing data aren't available for Bangkok\\–Istanbul, but fare patterns show Monday is the cheapest day to fly and Saturday the priciest, with evening and late-night departures offering the lowest fares. Peak summer months and major holidays will typically be more expensive on this route, and booking a few months ahead generally helps lock in better prices.",
        "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."

        "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."

      "q6": {

From Istanbul, short flights connect to Cappadocia for unique landscapes and hot air balloons, Antalya for Mediterranean beaches and ruins, and Izmir for access to Ephesus and the Aegean coast. Ankara, the capital, offers museums and a less touristy experience. These cities are well-linked by domestic flights, making it easy to combine them."
