        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Melbourne to Indonesia?",
        "answer": "Seasonal and booking-window data aren't available for Melbourne–Denpasar, but departure-timing data shows Friday is the cheapest day to fly, while Thursday is priciest, and afternoon or evening departures tend to offer the lowest fares. Midweek days like Monday and Wednesday are also more affordable than weekends. Peak summer (December–January) and major holidays typically push prices higher, so traveling outside those periods and choosing a Friday afternoon or evening flight is your best bet for a cheaper trip.",
        "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 Melbourne to Indonesia?",
        "answer": "For Melbourne to Indonesia, aim to book about 8–12 weeks ahead — the route to Bali is served by six airlines with daily nonstop flights, and while shoulder seasons can sometimes be booked closer in, locking in 2–3 months out typically secures a fare under the $763 great-deal threshold.",
        "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. 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."

      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "When is the best time of year to visit Indonesia?",
