        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Seoul to Thailand?",
        "answer": "The cheapest time to fly from Seoul to Thailand is typically during the late summer to early fall shoulder months like September, when demand dips between peak summer and winter holidays. Midweek departures on Tuesday or Wednesday tend to offer lower fares, while peak summer months and major holidays such as Korean New Year or Chuseok are usually more expensive. Booking a couple of months in advance generally helps secure better prices on this well-served route.",
        "methodology": "Cheapest prices are determined by finding the lowest fare Priceline users have found for the requested route and date 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. Calendar prices are the lowest fares users have found in the last 72 hours for the given route on each departure date. On dates without enough price samples, we estimate the fare by interpolating from dates for which we have good data, using a model that accounts for seasonality, day of the week, and other factors."
