        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Chiang Mai to Malaysia?",
        "answer": "Chiang Mai to Malaysia (typically Kuala Lumpur) is a short hop best booked a few weeks to two months ahead for reasonable fares, with the cheapest travel falling in the quieter late-spring and early-autumn shoulder months rather than during peak summer or year-end holidays. Midweek departures — Tuesday through Thursday — and midday or early-afternoon flights tend to be less expensive than weekend or evening options, while travel around major holidays like Chinese New Year, Songkran, and Hari Raya usually pushes prices higher.",
        "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. Explore Destinations finds the cheapest fare to the most popular destinations from a given origin. Each price is the lowest fare Priceline users have found for that route on any date in the last 72 hours."
