The full picture

The data shows a fairly tight corridor for this route: fares ranged from $293 to $395 over the sampled window, with a median of $375. That 35% spread is moderate — not the wide swings you'd see on a route with heavy demand volatility, but enough to make shopping around worthwhile. The fact that the 25th percentile ($293) sits notably below the median suggests that cheaper fares do surface periodically, even if the typical price skews closer to the high end of the range.

With only 12 daily snapshots, we can't make confident claims about a specific booking window — there isn't enough history here to say fares soften at a particular number of weeks or months out. What we can say is that if you're seeing a quote near or below the $293–$320 range, you're likely in the bottom quartile of what this route has shown recently, and that's a reasonable signal to book rather than wait. Conversely, quotes pushing toward $395 are at the top of the observed range, and it may be worth checking back or trying adjacent dates.

The dataset doesn't surface a dominant carrier or clear day-of-week pattern, so we're not going to manufacture one — no strong evidence here that Tuesday departures or any particular airline consistently undercuts the rest. The honest takeaway: use $375 as your reference price, treat anything near $293 as a good deal worth acting on, and recognize that with just 12 days of data, this snapshot is a useful guide but not a long-term forecast.
