Los Angeles → Lima flights

LAX–Lima fares cluster near $366 — bottom quartile sits under $328

Key takeaways

• Median fare across 30 daily snapshots is $366
• Bottom quartile (25th percentile) comes in at $328, close to the observed low of $326
• Top quartile sits at $373, meaning three-quarters of fares stay under that mark
• Spread of 56% between low and high signals real volatility — some snapshots spiked as high as $507
• Most fares bunch tightly in the $326–$373 range, with high-end outliers pulling the average up

The full picture

Over the 30-day window we tracked, LAX–Lima fares showed a median of $366, with a fairly tight middle band: the 25th percentile was $328 and the 75th was $373. That means a majority of the fares we observed fell within about $45 of each other — a reasonably predictable core price. The real story is the tail: the high of $507 is 38% above the median, which drags the overall spread to 56%. That gap suggests a handful of snapshots caught either last-minute pricing, holiday-adjacent dates, or premium cabin mixes rather than typical economy fares.

We can't pinpoint an exact booking window that reliably produces the lowest fares, since our data is a rolling snapshot of cached fares rather than a controlled study of booking lead time. What we can say is that fares at or below the $328–$373 range appeared often enough to represent the norm, not the exception — so a fare quoted near $350 is solidly within typical territory for this route, while anything approaching $450–$500 is an outlier worth avoiding if you have flexibility. If you're watching fares and see a price near the bottom quartile, there's good evidence that's a fair deal rather than a fluke.

We don't have visibility into a dominant carrier or consistent day-of-week pattern in this dataset, so we can't make claims about specific airlines or weekday effects on this route. The honest caveat: a 56% spread is wide enough that a single snapshot in either direction could be misleading, and with only 30 days sampled, we're seeing one month's pricing behavior, not a full seasonal cycle. Treat the $328–$373 range as your realistic target, and be skeptical of both $507-style spikes and any price below $326 — we have no data suggesting fares go lower than that.
