The full picture

Over the 30-day sample window, JFK–VIE fares clustered fairly tightly around a **$288 median**, with the middle 50% of prices (p25–p75) falling between $277 and $297 — a relatively narrow band suggesting the 'typical' fare is a reasonably reliable target. The overall range, however, stretched from $213 to $318, a 49% spread, which tells us that while most days price similarly, there's real volatility at the edges worth watching for.

We can't point to specific calendar dates or a 'best day to book' from this data — that kind of claim isn't supported by 30 snapshots of cached fares. What the data does support is a general expectation: if you're seeing quotes above $297, you're in the top quartile and likely paying a premium relative to the 30-day baseline. If you see something at or below $277, that's solidly in the cheaper quartile for this route. The $213 low is a useful reference point for what's achievable, but it's a single outlier, not a pattern — treat it as a sign that occasional deep discounts appear rather than something to bank on.

We don't have reliable day-of-week or carrier-specific patterns to report here — the data doesn't break out fares by weekday or airline with enough granularity to make that call responsibly. The safest read is that this route has moderate volatility (spread just under 50%) around a fairly stable median, so shoppers benefit more from tracking price relative to that $277–$297 band than from timing based on myths about booking days. Caveat: 30 daily snapshots capture recent pricing behavior but not seasonal shifts — fares closer to holidays or peak summer travel to Vienna could behave differently than this window suggests.
