New York → Edinburgh flights
JFK–Edinburgh fares show a $231 median with a wide $213–$338 range across just 10 snapshots; treat booking-window advice cautiously.
Typical fare $231 — but a thin sample masks real volatility
Key takeaways
- Median fare sits at $231, matching both the p25 and p75 — most observed fares cluster tightly around this number
- The high end spikes to $338, a 59% spread from the low of $213
- With only 10 daily snapshots, this sample is too thin to draw firm conclusions about timing patterns
- The low of $213 suggests occasional dips worth watching for, even if infrequent in this dataset
- No dominant carrier was identifiable from the data, so airline-specific booking strategies can't be confirmed here

The full picture
The data shows a median fare of $231 for JFK–Edinburgh, with p25 and p75 both equal to the median — an unusual signal that most of the 10 sampled fares landed right around $231, while a smaller number of outliers pulled the high end up to $338. That 59% spread between low and high is substantial, but given the identical p25/p75 values, it looks like the bulk of fares were stable and only a few snapshots captured the pricier end.
With just 10 days of snapshots, this sample is too small to responsibly say when in the booking horizon prices typically soften. A 30-day rolling window would let us distinguish a genuine early-bird discount from normal day-to-day noise; at 10 samples, a couple of unusually expensive days can skew the picture without reflecting a real trend. The safest takeaway is that $231 has been a realistic target price recently, and fares above $300 have shown up but aren't the norm based on what we've observed.
We can't identify a dominant carrier or any day-of-week pattern from this dataset — there simply isn't enough granularity in what we were given to make that call responsibly. If you're pricing a JFK–Edinburgh trip, treat $231 as a reasonable benchmark for a good fare, and be prepared for occasional spikes toward $338. The honest caveat: with only 10 snapshots, this analysis reflects a narrow window of observation, not a full seasonal or booking-curve pattern, so additional data would meaningfully sharpen this guidance.
