        "question": "How far in advance should I book flights from Beijing to Thailand?",

        "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. 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. Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours."

        "question": "How do I get to Beijing Capital Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "To get from downtown Beijing to Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK), the Capital Airport Express rail link from Beixinqiao (with stops at Dongzhimen and Sanyuanqiao) is the fastest and most popular option, reaching both terminals in about 20-30 minutes for a flat fare of ¥25. The Beijing Capital Airport Shuttle Bus network offers five main routes from points like Fangzhuang, Xidan, Beijing railway station, Gongzhufen, and Zhongguancun, with fares around ¥20-55 and frequent service from early morning until late night. Taxis and ride-share services provide door-to-door convenience at a higher cost, while driving yourself is possible but parking at the airport is relatively expensive.",
