The full picture

Fares between JFK and Mexico City have ranged from $153 to $228 over the past 30 days, with a median of $188. That's a 49% spread top to bottom, but the middle half of observed fares — $172 to $207 — is much narrower, meaning most days land reasonably close to that median rather than at the extremes. The full 30-day sample gives decent confidence in these numbers.

We don't have longitudinal data showing how far in advance these fares were booked, so we can't say precisely when in the booking horizon prices soften. What we can say is that the data reflects a snapshot of cached fares across a full calendar month, and the consistency of the middle-half range suggests this route doesn't swing wildly day to day. Travelers aiming for the $172–$207 band have a reasonable shot on most days, while the $153 low likely reflects a one-off dip rather than a predictable pattern.

No single dominant carrier or weekly pattern is visible in this data, so we can't responsibly point to specific days of the week or airlines as cheaper. The honest takeaway: this is a moderately stable route price-wise, with the median ($188) serving as a reliable planning benchmark. Travelers with flexibility might watch for dips toward the $153–$172 range, but the data doesn't support claims about which days or weeks those dips are more likely to appear.
