Dallas → Cartagena flights

The median Dallas–Cartagena fare sits at $223, but bottom-quartile prices reach $218 — monitor 4–8 weeks out and jump on sub-$200 deals when they surface.

Target $218–$223 for Dallas–Cartagena; outliers cut to $110

Key takeaways

  • Median fare is $223, based on 30 daily snapshots of the cheapest cached fares on this route.
  • Bottom quartile (p25) is $218 — so roughly one-in-four observed prices came in at or below that level, a realistic target for a 'good' fare.
  • The low of $110 represents a genuine outlier — the spread of 163% signals this route swings dramatically, so alerts are worth setting.
  • Top quartile (p75) hits $256, meaning fares above that level should be treated as expensive for this corridor.
  • The $179 midpoint between p25 and the $110 low is a useful mental threshold: fares in that zone are genuinely rare but documented.

The full picture

The Dallas–Cartagena market shows an unusually wide price range for a single route. With a spread of 163% between the lowest and highest observed fares ($110 to $289), this is not a stable, predictable corridor — it's one where timing and flexibility matter more than average. The interquartile range ($218–$256) is the more reliable planning window: budget $220–$255 as a baseline expectation, and treat anything below $200 as an opportunity worth acting on quickly.

Because the p25 and median are so close ($218 vs. $223), the bulk of 'normal' pricing clusters tightly in a narrow band, while the extremes — particularly that $110 low — are driven by sporadic promotions or seat sales rather than a predictable booking window. Practically, this means the best strategy is to set fare alerts at or below $200 and check availability 4–8 weeks before departure, when promotional inventory on connecting itineraries through hubs like Bogotá or Miami tends to appear. Waiting until the last two weeks typically pushes fares toward the $256–$289 range.

No dominant carrier was identifiable from this dataset, so the advice to monitor multiple booking platforms holds. The $110 floor is real — it appeared in the 30-day sample — but it should not be treated as achievable on demand. One honest caveat: 30 daily snapshots capture cached fares at a point in time and may not fully reflect live seat availability or peak-season surges; fares during Colombian holiday periods (particularly December and Semana Santa) can behave differently from what this dataset implies.
