Evening and late-night flights often offer the lowest fares, while early-morning and midday departures run higher. Avoiding peak holiday periods like Christmas, Easter, and the summer vacation months in both countries also helps keep costs down.",
        "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."
