        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Osaka to Vietnam?",
        "answer": "Flights from Osaka to Vietnam tend to be cheaper during shoulder seasons like late spring (May–June) and early autumn (September–October), while peak summer (July–August) and major holidays such as Lunar New Year and Golden Week usually see higher fares. Midweek departures — particularly Tuesdays and Wednesdays — and early-morning or late-evening flights often offer the best value compared to weekend and midday travel. Booking at least two to three months ahead typically helps lock in lower prices before the holiday surges.",
        "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."
