The full picture

The data for this route is unusually flat: all five snapshots returned an identical fare of $617, producing a 0% spread. That's not necessarily good or bad news — it simply means that over this short observation window, the cached cheapest fare didn't move at all, whether due to a stable fare class holding steady or limited pricing activity being captured in the snapshots.

With only five data points, this sample is too thin to draw conclusions about booking-window timing. Typically we'd look at how prices trend over a 30-day rolling period to flag whether fares soften closer to departure or in a particular window, but five snapshots showing one static number doesn't give us that resolution. We can't respoinsibly tell you whether booking now, in two weeks, or in two months would change the price — the data doesn't show enough history to say.

No dominant carrier or day-of-week pattern is visible here either, which is consistent with the limited sample size — there simply isn't enough variation or volume to detect such signals. The one actionable takeaway is the reference price itself: $617 is what this route has consistently shown, so it's a reasonable benchmark for comparison if you see fares well above or below that figure. The honest caveat: with zero spread and so few samples, we can't confirm this reflects genuine market stability versus a limitation in how often fares were refreshed or cached during this window. Treat this figure as a snapshot-in-time reference rather than a confirmed 'typical' or 'floor' price for the route.
