        "answer": "Flights from Manila to Seoul are generally cheapest during the late winter and early spring months outside of major holidays, with February and March often showing the lowest fares. Midweek departures — especially Tuesday and Wednesday — and early-morning or late-night flights tend to offer better value, while peak summer (June–August) and holiday periods like Chuseok and Christmas see prices rise sharply. Booking roughly two to three months ahead usually gives you the best balance of price and availability.",
        "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. 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."
