New York → Boston flights

JFK–BOS hovers near $110 — bottom quartile dips to $103

Key takeaways

• Median fare sits at $110, with half of all observed fares landing between $103 and $120 (the middle 50%)
• Low of $79 shows occasional deep discounts, but this looks like an outlier rather than the norm
• High of $134 marks the top end — worth avoiding if you can be flexible by even a few days
• 70% spread between low and high means pricing is fairly volatile for this short-haul route
• Only 12 snapshots sampled — enough to see a pattern, but not a large enough dataset to be highly precise

The full picture

The JFK–Boston route shows a median fare of $110, with a bottom quartile (p25) of $103 and a top quartile (p75) of $120 — a reasonably tight band for the middle of the market. The outliers matter here: a low of $79 suggests occasional steep deals surface, while the $134 high caps what you'd expect to pay even on pricier days. With a 70% spread between low and high, this is a route where timing and flexibility can meaningfully affect what you pay, even though it's a short domestic hop.

We only have 12 days of snapshots to work with, which limits how confidently we can map out a booking horizon — there isn't enough data here to say prices reliably soften at a specific number of days before departure. What we can say is that most fares cluster close to the median, so treating $110 as your benchmark and $103 or below as a genuinely good price is a reasonable strategy. If you see fares pushing toward $130+, it's likely worth checking alternate dates given the volatility already visible in this small sample.

No dominant carrier was identifiable from the data provided, so we can't speak to airline-specific pricing patterns or whether certain carriers consistently undercut others on this corridor. Given the short flight time and high frequency of JFK–Boston service, shuttle-style routes like this often see fare movement tied to business travel demand (weekday mornings/evenings), but that pattern isn't something we can confirm from 12 snapshots alone. Treat the $103–$120 range as your realistic target, and view anything below $100 as a window worth jumping on — just know that with this sample size, the next few weeks of data could shift these numbers meaningfully.
