        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Kota Bharu to Malaysia?",
        "answer": "On the Kota Bharu to Kuala Lumpur route, the departure timing data points to Wednesday as the cheapest day and evening departures as the best value, while midweek flights in general tend to be more affordable than weekend travel. Although seasonal and booking-window data are not available for this domestic Malaysian route, off-peak months outside of major school holidays and festive periods like Hari Raya and Chinese New Year are typically cheaper, with peak summer and year-end holidays usually bringing higher fares.",
        "methodology": "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. 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."

        "question": "How far in advance should I book flights from Kota Bharu to Malaysia?",
        "answer": "For the Kota Bharu to Kuala Lumpur route, which is a heavily served domestic Malaysian corridor with many daily nonstop flights on AirAsia, Malaysia Airlines, Malindo Air, and Firefly, booking 4–8 weeks ahead is typically sufficient to secure a good fare, though for peak holiday periods like Hari Raya or school breaks you may want to book 10–12 weeks in advance.",
        "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.

        "question": "Which airports in Malaysia are best to fly into from Kota Bharu?",
