        "answer": "The cheapest time to fly from Manila to Vietnam is typically during the shoulder months of February through April and September through November, when demand eases between peak summer travel and major holidays like Lunar New Year and Christmas. Flying midweek — especially Tuesdays and Wednesdays — and choosing early-morning or late-night departures usually yields the lowest fares on this route, while peak summer and holiday periods push prices 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. 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."
