        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Santo Domingo to Venezuela?",
        "answer": "Specific seasonal, booking-window, and departure-timing data are not available for the Santo Domingo (SDQ) to Caracas (CCS) route, but in general the cheapest months to fly this region are late spring (May) and early fall (September–October), with midweek departures (Tuesday/Wednesday) and early-morning or late-night flights typically costing less than weekend or midday departures. Peak summer (June–August) and major holiday periods like Christmas and Easter usually bring higher fares, so booking at least 3–6 weeks ahead tends to help lock in lower prices on connecting itineraries via Panama, Miami, or Bogotá.",
        "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. 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."
