Key takeaways

Median fare of $501 barely moved across the sample window
Prices ranged from $501 to $552, a narrow 10% spread
Bottom quartile sat right at the floor: $501 at p25, so most cheap fares cluster there
Top quartile only reached $526, meaning even 'expensive' days weren't far off
Sample is thin — just 12 days of snapshots — so treat this as a directional read, not a guarantee

The full picture

The data shows a tight band for this route: a median of $501 against a high of just $552, a spread of only 10%. That's a small enough range that chasing a 'deal' isn't likely to save much — even the 75th percentile fare ($526) is only about $25 above the median. In practical terms, this route looks price-stable rather than volatile, so travelers can book with reasonable confidence whenever their schedule calls for it, rather than gambling on a future dip.

We don't have enough data here to pinpoint a specific window in the booking horizon where prices typically soften — the sample is only 12 days, which is thin for drawing conclusions about timing trends. What we can say is that fares didn't swing wildly within that window, which suggests this route isn't prone to the kind of last-minute spikes or early-bird discounts you'd see on more volatile itineraries. If your plans are flexible, there's little data-backed reason to delay a booking in hopes of a meaningfully better price.

We don't have carrier-level detail or day-of-week breakdowns in this dataset, so we can't speak to whether a specific airline or weekday departure offers an edge on this route. The honest caveat: with only 12 snapshots, this is a limited sample, and real-world pricing could behave differently over a longer stretch or during peak travel seasons to Mumbai. Treat the $501 median as a solid benchmark, but keep an eye on fares as your trip approaches rather than assuming this stability is permanent.
