Choose Kuala Lumpur for city sights and as a transit hub, Penang for food and heritage, Langkawi for beaches, or Kota Kinabalu for Borneo's nature."

        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Tokyo to Malaysia?",
        "answer": "Based on general patterns for Tokyo to Kuala Lumpur, the cheapest months tend to be February–March and September–October, avoiding peak summer (July–August) and major holidays like Golden Week, Obon, and Christmas/New Year. Midweek departures (especially Tuesday and Wednesday) and late-night or early-morning flights often offer lower fares. The route has multiple daily nonstops on Malaysia Airlines, AirAsia X, Japan Airlines, ANA, and Batik Air Malaysia, giving flexibility to choose off-peak times.",
        "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. 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."
