      "q4": {
        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Dallas to Nepal?",
        "answer": "The cheapest months to fly from Dallas to Nepal are September, April, and October, when fares tend to be lowest, while peak summer (June–July) and December holidays are the most expensive. Booking about 6 to 9 weeks ahead typically secures the best price, and midweek departures generally offer better value than weekends. For the lowest fares, aim for a September or April trip booked roughly two months in advance.",
        "methodology": "This 'good deal' estimate shows a representative best price for each departure date across roughly a 12-month window (about 3 months back and 9 months forward). It is built from real flight prices found by Priceline users searching this route, accumulated into a price history for each departure date. Rather than weighting all of that history equally, we apply exponential time decay so recent prices dominate — a price seen yesterday counts almost in full, one from about a month ago roughly a third, and prices from a few months back very little — giving a figure that tracks today's market instead of a stale long-run average. Clear price outliers are removed before any calculation, departure dates with no observations are filled in from nearby dates, and the resulting curve is lightly smoothed so it reads as a clean seasonal trend rather than day-to-day noise. This booking-window guidance is built from the same real flight prices found by Priceline users searching this route, re-grouped by how many days before departure each price was seen (from the departure day out to about 180 days ahead) across the route's price history. At each booking lead time we report the 25th-percentile price — the cheaper end of what travelers were quoted, rather than the rock-bottom minimum (which can be a fluke) or the average (which is pulled up by expensive last-minute fares). The buy-or-wait advice then applies a risk premium that grows as departure approaches, since seat availability shrinks and prices become less predictable; using that adjusted curve we flag windows where waiting is likely to save a meaningful amount (at least $20 or 5%) versus windows where booking now is the better call. Isolated single-day recommendations are filtered out, so the advice only reflects a window that holds for several days in a row."

        "question": "How far in advance should I book flights from Dallas to Nepal?",
        "answer": "For flights from Dallas to Nepal, the optimal booking window is about 6 to 9 weeks before departure, when average fares drop to around $1,664.",

      },
      "q7": {
        "question": "Do I need a visa to travel from Dallas to Nepal?",
        "answer": "U.S. citizens need a visa to visit Nepal, which you can typically get on arrival at the airport or apply for online in advance. A short tourist stay does not qualify for visa-free entry, and you should verify the latest rules before departure, as requirements can change."
      },
      "q8": {
        "question": "Which airports in Nepal are best to fly into from Dallas?",
        "answer": "From Dallas to Nepal, Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu is the only practical entry point. It handles all long-haul connections and serves as the hub for domestic flights to Pokhara, Lukla and other regional destinations. There are no direct flights from the U.S., so you will connect through a Middle Eastern or Asian hub."

      "q12": {
        "question": "When is the best time of year to visit Nepal?",
        "answer": "For Nepal, October to November and late February to April offer the best balance of clear skies, moderate temperatures and lighter crowds compared to the peak autumn trekking season. Summer is monsoon season, making many trails wet and cloudy."
