        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Chiang Mai to Taiwan?",
        "answer": "The cheapest time to fly from Chiang Mai to Taiwan is typically during the low season months outside of peak summer (June–August) and major holidays like Lunar New Year, when demand and fares are highest. Midweek departures — especially Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays — tend to offer better value than weekend flights, and early-morning or late-night departures (such as the overnight AirAsia options around midnight) are often cheaper than midday services. Booking several weeks to a few months in advance usually yields the best fares on this route.",
        "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."
