Houston → Orlando flights

Median sits at $131, but watch for rare dips near $41

Key takeaways

• Median fare is $131, close to the top of the observed range, suggesting most fares cluster high.
• Bottom quartile (p25) is $88, meaning roughly a quarter of snapshots showed noticeably cheaper fares.
• High of $139 vs. low of $41 — a wide swing, but the low appears to be an outlier rather than the norm.
• Spread of 239% is unusually large, signaling an inconsistent market rather than a stable pricing pattern.
• Only 12 snapshots were sampled — enough to spot a trend, but too thin to call this definitive.

The full picture

The data shows a Houston-to-Orlando market where most fares bunch up near the higher end — a median of $131 and a 75th percentile of $134 mean that typical travelers are seeing prices close to the top of this range. The one $41 fare in the sample pulls the spread to 239%, but given that 75% of observed fares sit at $88 or above, that rock-bottom price looks like an isolated event rather than something bookable on demand.

With just 12 snapshots, this dataset is too thin to confidently map out a booking-window curve — we can't say with precision whether prices soften at 21 days out versus 60 days out based on this sample alone. What we can say is that the bulk of fares cluster tightly between $88 and $134, so travelers should treat $131 as a realistic planning number rather than anchor expectations on the $41 outlier. If you see something near or below the $88 mark, that's in bottom-quartile territory for this route and worth booking.

No dominant carrier was identifiable in this data, so we can't speak to airline-specific patterns or day-of-week effects — the sample doesn't support those claims. The honest takeaway: this is a small, volatile snapshot. The median gives you a reasonable target, but the 239% spread means outcomes on any given search could vary significantly from that number. Treat this as a directional guide, not a guarantee, and recheck closer to your travel dates given the limited sample size.
