JFK–Mumbai fares cluster near $316 — outliers skew the range

Key takeaways

• $316 median fare across 30 daily snapshots
• Middle 50% of fares (p25-p75) span just $313-$317, a tight cluster
• The $377 high appears to be an outlier well above the typical range
• Low of $302 shows modest savings are possible below the median
• Overall 25% spread looks wide, but it's driven mostly by one high reading rather than broad volatility

The full picture

The data shows an interesting pattern: most fares on this route are remarkably consistent, with the bottom quartile ($313) and top quartile ($317) sitting just $4 apart. That tight clustering around the $316 median suggests pricing on JFK–Mumbai has been stable for most of the 30-day window we tracked. The $377 high and, to a lesser extent, the $302 low are the exceptions that pull the overall spread to 25% — a number that looks more dramatic than the day-to-day reality for most travelers.

Given this pattern, the practical takeaway is less about timing a booking window and more about recognizing normal versus inflated pricing. If you see fares in the $310-$320 range, you're seeing the typical price for this route — there's little evidence in this data that waiting or booking earlier would reliably beat that band. The $302 low suggests occasional dips below typical pricing do occur, so it's worth comparing a few search sessions before committing, but the data doesn't support a predictable booking-window strategy given how narrow the core range is.

We don't have visibility into a dominant carrier for this route from the data provided, so we can't speak to airline-specific patterns or whether certain carriers are driving the high-end outlier. One honest caveat: 30 days is a reasonably solid sample, but it's a single snapshot in time for a long-haul international route where seasonal demand (wedding season, holidays, academic calendars) can shift pricing meaningfully outside this window. Treat the $316 median as a useful benchmark for current conditions, not a year-round guarantee.
