Suitability comes from our own destination records. Seasonal pricing is the price level our cost model applies to that month, not a live fare.
The two lines answer different questions and often disagree: a month can be the best weather fit and the priciest month in the model at the same time. If your dates can move, the cheaper total is usually in a neighbouring month with similar conditions.
