        "answer": "Flights from Pulau Pinang to Hong Kong are generally cheapest in the shoulder seasons — roughly February through April and September to early November — outside the summer peak and major holidays like Christmas and Chinese New Year. Flying midweek, especially Tuesday or Wednesday, and choosing early-morning or late-evening departures tends to yield lower fares on this route.",
        "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."
