        "answer": "For flights from Shenzhen to Vietnam, booking about 4 to 6 weeks ahead is a practical window, as this short-haul route tends to have stable pricing without the steep early-booking premiums seen on transatlantic flights.",
        "methodology": "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."
