        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Guangzhou to Thailand?",
        "answer": "The cheapest time to fly from Guangzhou to Thailand is generally during the off-peak months of May through October, with midweek departures — especially Wednesdays — and late-night flights offering the lowest fares in the data. Peak summer travel and major holidays like Chinese New Year and Songkran tend to be more expensive, so booking outside those windows usually helps.",
        "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 Guangzhou to Thailand?",
        "answer": "For flights from Guangzhou to Bangkok, booking 4 to 8 weeks ahead is typically enough to find a good fare on this competitive short-haul route, though you might want to book earlier for peak travel periods like Chinese New Year.",
        "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. 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. 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."
