JFK–DEL: Target $298 and watch for dips toward $268
Key takeaways
- Median fare is $298, making it a reliable anchor when evaluating any deal you see advertised.
- Bottom-quartile fares (p25) sit at $298 — meaning at least half of sampled prices were at or above this level, with little daylight between median and p25.
- The low recorded was $268, roughly 10% below median; fares at this level are real but not the norm across the 18-day sample.
- The high reached $362, a 35% spread from low to high — meaningful room to overpay if you book at the wrong moment.
- Sample size is 18 days, which is a moderately thin window; treat these figures as directional, not definitive.

The full picture
The 35% spread between the lowest ($268) and highest ($362) fares recorded on this route over 18 daily snapshots tells a clear story: JFK–DEL pricing is genuinely variable, and timing your purchase matters. The median of $298 is a practical benchmark — if you see a fare at or below that number, you are performing at least as well as half of the observed market conditions. Fares above $340 start to look like the expensive tail of the distribution, approaching the p75 of $360.
On the booking horizon, the tight clustering between the p25 ($298) and the median ($298) suggests that "good" fares are relatively common, but the truly low fares near $268 appear intermittently rather than predictably. This pattern is consistent with flash-sale or seat-release windows that don't follow a strict schedule. Monitoring fares over a 4–8 week window before departure and setting a price alert near $280 is a reasonable strategy — it gives you a realistic shot at the lower end without waiting indefinitely for a price that may not reappear.
No dominant carrier is identifiable from this dataset, so fare comparisons across airlines are worth running each time you check. One honest caveat: 18 daily snapshots is a moderately thin sample. Seasonal surges around Indian holidays, school breaks, or summer travel peaks can shift this entire distribution upward by a meaningful margin — the figures here should be treated as a directional guide for typical conditions, not a guarantee of what you will find on any given day.
