        "question": "Which cities in Taiwan can I fly to from New York City?",
        "answer": "From New York you can fly non-stop to Taipei Taoyuan on EVA Air and China Airlines. One-stop options via other Asian hubs also serve Taipei and occasionally Kaohsiung. Taipei is the main gateway with high-speed rail connections to Taichung and Kaohsiung. Choose Taipei for culture and night markets, Kaohsiung for a more relaxed harbor city, and Taichung for central Taiwan attractions."

        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from New York City to Taiwan?",
        "answer": "The cheapest months to fly from New York City to Taiwan are April, September, and November, while peak summer (especially June) and December holidays are the most expensive. Midweek departures, particularly Wednesday, tend to cost less than weekend flights, and midday or afternoon departures offer the lowest fares. Booking about 8 to 11 weeks ahead typically yields the best price.",
        "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. 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. 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 Taiwan?",
        "answer": "For flights from New York City to Taiwan, the optimal booking window is roughly 8 to 11 weeks before departure, when average fares settle around $1,145, though booking as early as 180 days out can save a few extra dollars.",

        "answer": "U.S. citizens can visit Taiwan without a visa for short tourist stays, typically up to 90 days. No electronic travel authorization is required for U.S. passport holders at this time. Always verify entry rules before traveling, as requirements can change with little notice."

        "question": "Which airports in Taiwan are best to fly into from New York City?",

Kaohsiung International Airport in the south offers a convenient alternative for reaching southern beaches and cities, though it has fewer direct long-haul options."
