The full picture

Over the past 30 days, every day had a cached fare for this route, giving us a solid, full dataset to work with. The median fare of $205 sits comfortably between the $149 low and $237 high, but the 59% spread tells you this isn't a route with a stable, predictable price — it swings meaningfully depending on when you check. The middle half of fares (p25 to p75) cluster between $154 and $213, which is a useful target range: if you're quoted something near or below $154, that's a genuinely good fare relative to recent history.

We don't have booking-window data showing how far in advance these fares were purchased, so we can't say definitively when in the 0-to-travel-date horizon prices soften. What the data does show is that the full range of outcomes — from $149 to $237 — was present within just the last 30 days, meaning timing your search matters more than timing your purchase window specifically. Checking fares across multiple days rather than booking the first price you see is likely to pay off, given how much movement occurred in a single month.

No single carrier or day-of-week pattern is visible in this dataset, so we can't point you toward a specific airline or weekday advantage — doing so without evidence would be guesswork. The honest takeaway is that this is a moderately volatile route: the median is a reasonable anchor at $205, the bottom quartile (at or below $154) represents a strong deal, and anything approaching $237 is on the expensive end of recent experience. Treat the $154-$213 band as your realistic planning range, and be ready to act if you spot something near the lower bound.
