        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Atlanta to Korea?",
        "answer": "The cheapest months to fly from Atlanta to Korea are September, October, and August, with late summer and early fall offering the lowest fares before prices climb for peak summer and the December holidays. Booking about 9 to 11 weeks ahead tends to yield the best rates, and departing on a Wednesday or in the morning window can help keep costs down, while Fridays and Sundays are typically the most expensive days to fly.",
        "methodology": "This 'good deal' estimate shows a representative best price for each departure date across roughly a 12-month window (about 3 months back and 9 months forward). It is built from real flight prices found by Priceline users searching this route, accumulated into a price history for each departure date. Rather than weighting all of that history equally, we apply exponential time decay so recent prices dominate — a price seen yesterday counts almost in full, one from about a month ago roughly a third, and prices from a few months back very little — giving a figure that tracks today's market instead of a stale long-run average. Clear price outliers are removed before any calculation, departure dates with no observations are filled in from nearby dates, and the resulting curve is lightly smoothed so it reads as a clean seasonal trend rather than day-to-day noise. This booking-window guidance is built from the same real flight prices found by Priceline users searching this route, re-grouped by how many days before departure each price was seen (from the departure day out to about 180 days ahead) across the route's price history. At each booking lead time we report the 25th-percentile price — the cheaper end of what travelers were quoted, rather than the rock-bottom minimum (which can be a fluke) or the average (which is pulled up by expensive last-minute fares). The buy-or-wait advice then applies a risk premium that grows as departure approaches, since seat availability shrinks and prices become less predictable; using that adjusted curve we flag windows where waiting is likely to save a meaningful amount (at least $20 or 5%) versus windows where booking now is the better call. Isolated single-day recommendations are filtered out, so the advice only reflects a window that holds for several days in a row. The cheapest day of the week and time of day to depart are drawn from the same large sample of real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours, grouped by the day of the week and by the time-of-day window of the outbound departure, with the lowest and average price reported for each."

However, you must obtain a K-ETA (Korea Electronic Travel Authorization) before departure, and entry rules can change, so verify current requirements close to your travel date."

Gimpo International also serves Seoul but focuses on domestic and short-haul flights, while Busan's Gimhae International is a practical choice for travelers heading to the southern coast and resort areas."
