        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Delhi to Nepal?",
        "answer": "Flights from Delhi to Kathmandu are generally cheapest during the monsoon and shoulder months (roughly June through September), with midweek departures often priced lower than weekends. Early-morning and late-night flights tend to be more affordable, while peak summer holiday periods and major festivals like Dashain push fares significantly higher.",
        "methodology": "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. 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. 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. Stop counts, connecting hubs, and per-airline prices are drawn from a large sample of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. We group those fares by number of stops, by the hub airport a connection routes through, and by operating airline, and report each group's share of the sample alongside its lowest and median price. The typical price, the lowest fare, a 'great deal' threshold, and how fares are spread across price bands are summarized from a large sample of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours, with a small fraction of extreme outlier fares excluded from the range."

        "question": "How far in advance should I book flights from Delhi to Nepal?",
        "answer": "For Delhi to Kathmandu, booking 4 to 8 weeks ahead typically secures the best fares, though this short-haul route is less sensitive to advance purchase than long-haul ones, and shoulder-season travel can often be booked closer in.",

        "question": "Which airports in Nepal are best to fly into from Delhi?",
        "answer": "From Delhi, Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu is the primary gateway to Nepal, receiving the most flights and serving as the hub for onward domestic connections to Pokhara, Lukla, and other regional destinations. There are no train services in Nepal, so all onward travel is by air or road. For trekkers heading to the Everest region, flights from Kathmandu to Lukla are the standard approach, while Pokhara Airport offers a shorter route to the Annapurna region. Currently, no other international airports in Nepal handle scheduled flights from Delhi."
