        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Singapore to Japan?",
        "answer": "The cheapest times to fly from Singapore to Japan are typically the shoulder seasons — late February to early March, late May to early June, and September to early November — avoiding cherry blossom season, Golden Week, summer holidays, and year-end peaks. Midweek departures (Tuesday/Wednesday) and red-eye or early-morning flights tend to offer lower fares on this busy nonstop corridor. Peak summer (July–August) and major Japanese holiday periods are usually the most expensive.",
        "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."
