The full picture

The data shows a fairly compressed price ceiling — fares topped out at $100 and the median sits at $98, meaning most snapshots landed near the high end of the range. That makes the $62–$68 fares in the bottom quartile stand out as genuine outliers worth watching for, rather than the norm. A 61% spread between low and high confirms there's real variability here, even if the sample is small.

With only 12 days of snapshots, we can't confidently map out a booking curve — there isn't enough data to say prices reliably soften at a particular point in the booking horizon. What we can say is that the bulk of fares cluster tightly between $68 and $100, so travelers checking prices regularly have a reasonable shot at landing in that lower band rather than paying the $100 ceiling. Building in flexibility on travel dates, and checking fares repeatedly rather than booking on the first search, looks like the more defensible strategy than trying to time a specific day or week.

No dominant carrier or day-of-week pattern is visible in this dataset, so we can't speak to airline-specific pricing behavior or weekday/weekend effects on this route. The honest caveat: with just 12 samples, this snapshot is a useful directional signal but too thin to treat as a robust seasonal or weekly pattern — treat the $68–$98 range as a working target rather than a guarantee.
