        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from New York City to Colombia?",
        "answer": "The cheapest months to fly from New York City to Colombia are April, May, and September, while December and the peak summer months of July and January are the most expensive. Booking 6 to 9 weeks ahead typically yields the best fares, and midweek departures tend to be cheaper than weekends, with early-morning or late-night flights often priced lower than midday options. Peak summer and major holiday periods like Christmas and New Year's are usually significantly more expensive.",
        "methodology": "This 'good deal' estimate shows a representative best price for each departure date across roughly a 12-month window (about 3 months back and 9 months forward). It is built from real flight prices found by Priceline users searching this route, accumulated into a price history for each departure date. Rather than weighting all of that history equally, we apply exponential time decay so recent prices dominate — a price seen yesterday counts almost in full, one from about a month ago roughly a third, and prices from a few months back very little — giving a figure that tracks today's market instead of a stale long-run average. Clear price outliers are removed before any calculation, departure dates with no observations are filled in from nearby dates, and the resulting curve is lightly smoothed so it reads as a clean seasonal trend rather than day-to-day noise. This booking-window guidance is built from the same real flight prices found by Priceline users searching this route, re-grouped by how many days before departure each price was seen (from the departure day out to about 180 days ahead) across the route's price history. At each booking lead time we report the 25th-percentile price — the cheaper end of what travelers were quoted, rather than the rock-bottom minimum (which can be a fluke) or the average (which is pulled up by expensive last-minute fares). The buy-or-wait advice then applies a risk premium that grows as departure approaches, since seat availability shrinks and prices become less predictable; using that adjusted curve we flag windows where waiting is likely to save a meaningful amount (at least $20 or 5%) versus windows where booking now is the better call. Isolated single-day recommendations are filtered out, so the advice only reflects a window that holds for several days in a row."

        "question": "How far in advance should I book flights from New York City to Colombia?",
        "answer": "For flights from New York City to Colombia, the optimal booking window is 6 to 9 weeks before departure, with average fares around $590 during that period.",
        "methodology": "Quoted prices come from real-time, bookable flight offers from our airline partners. Prices are dynamic and subject to change throughout the day.
