        "question": "How far in advance should I book flights from Busan to Philippines?",
        "answer": "For flights from Busan to the Philippines, which require a connection, booking 6 to 10 weeks ahead generally offers the best balance of availability and price, though peak holiday periods like Lunar New Year and summer may reward booking 12 or more 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."

You must also register online through the eTravel system before departure, but no electronic travel authorization is required.
