        "answer": "Flights from Sapporo to Hong Kong are generally cheapest during shoulder seasons like late autumn (October–November) and late winter/early spring (February–March), avoiding the summer peak and major holidays such as Golden Week, Obon, and Chinese New Year when fares rise sharply. Midweek departures — especially Tuesday and Wednesday — tend to offer lower prices than weekends, and early-morning or late-evening flights often cost less than midday departures. Cathay Pacific, Hong Kong Airlines, and Greater Bay Airlines all operate daily nonstop service on this route, while connecting options via Seoul or Taipei can sometimes undercut nonstop fares.",
        "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. Quoted prices come from real-time, bookable flight offers from our airline partners. Prices are dynamic and subject to change throughout the day."
