        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Manila to Japan?",
        "answer": "The cheapest time to fly from Manila to Japan is early in the week, especially on Mondays, with early-morning and late-night departures offering the lowest fares. Midweek and weekend flights tend to be pricier, and peak summer and major holiday periods typically push prices higher. Booking a few weeks to a couple of months ahead generally helps lock in better rates on this route.",
        "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."

        "question": "How far in advance should I book flights from Manila to Japan?",
        "answer": "For flights from Manila to Japan, booking roughly 6 to 10 weeks ahead is a practical window — fares tend to be lowest when you avoid last-minute purchases but don't book so early that you miss mid-range deals, and shoulder seasons like late spring or early autumn often allow a bit more flexibility than peak summer or holiday periods.",
        "methodology": "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."
