The data shows a tight, affordable base fare with occasional expensive outliers. A $370 low and a $383 median sitting close together suggest a reliable floor price for this route — if you see something in the high $300s, it's close to as good as this window gets. The real story is the gap between that floor and the $645 high: a 74% spread means some days in the sample priced dramatically above the norm, likely tied to specific dates, demand spikes, or premium-cabin fares slipping into the cache.
Because three-quarters of sampled fares stayed at or below $434, the $645 figure looks like an outlier rather than the new normal. That's a useful signal: if you're quoted something close to $600+, it's worth waiting or checking alternate dates, since the data suggests cheaper fares are circulating in parallel. With only 20 of 30 days returning a cached fare, we can't map out a precise week-by-week softening pattern — the sample is decent but not dense enough to say prices reliably dip at a certain point in the booking window.
No clear day-of-week or carrier pattern is visible in this dataset, so we won't speculate about which weekday to fly or which airline to favor. What we can say with confidence is that the $370-$434 band represents the realistic target range for most travelers on this route, and treating the median of $383 as your benchmark is a reasonable strategy. The honest caveat: with 20 sampled days and a wide high-end outlier, this is a good directional read on pricing, not a guarantee — actual fares on any given search day could still land outside this range, especially if travel dates fall near peak demand periods not fully captured here.
Why we regenerated this article: Top quartile ↑ 13% ($383 → $434). We only rewrite when the underlying price index actually moves — stable weeks keep the previous take.
