Dallas → Cartagena flights

Target $218–$223 for Dallas–Cartagena; don't wait

Key takeaways

• The median fare is $223, and half of all observed prices fell between $218 and $256 — a relatively tight core range.
• The floor hit $110 in this 30-day window, suggesting genuine sale or error fares do surface, though they're far from typical.
• The spread of 163% (from $110 to $289) is unusually wide, meaning timing your search matters more on this route than on most.
• The p25 of $218 is your practical target — fares at or below that level represent the bottom quartile of what we observed.
• The $289 high is 29% above the median, so booking late or during demand spikes carries real downside risk.

The full picture

The Dallas–Cartagena route shows a median fare of $223 across 30 days of cached cheapest-fare snapshots, with the middle 50% of prices landing between $218 and $256. That's a roughly $38 interquartile range — not a massive spread within the core, which suggests that on most normal days you can expect to pay somewhere in that corridor. The $110 floor is eye-catching but should be treated as an outlier: a promotional or sale fare that surfaced briefly rather than a repeatable target.

The overall spread of 163% — from $110 to $289 — is the more important signal. A spread that wide tells you this route is volatile, likely because capacity is thin (fewer nonstop or one-stop options between DFW and CTG) and fares respond sharply to demand fluctuations. That volatility cuts both ways: it creates occasional genuine deals, but it also means fares can run well above median quickly. The practical implication is to book when you see $218–$230, rather than waiting and hoping prices fall further. On a route like this, patience is more likely to cost you than save you.

No carrier-level patterns are visible in the data provided, and the 30-day sample doesn't capture seasonal shifts across the full year — Cartagena sees higher demand around major U.S. holiday periods and during Colombian festival seasons, factors that could push fares toward or beyond the $289 high observed here. One honest caveat: this dataset reflects cheapest cached fares at snapshot moments, not final ticketed prices. Taxes, seat fees, and checked-bag costs — common on budget carriers serving Latin America — could meaningfully change your all-in cost.
