The full picture

Over the last 30 days, SFO–Rome fares held a fairly consistent core: the middle half of prices ranged from $369 to $390, tightly bracketing the $383 median. That tells you most travelers shopping this route are seeing prices within about $20 of the median on any given day — a narrow, predictable band for a long-haul international itinerary.

The 48% spread, however, shows that outliers exist. The low of $363 isn't far below the median, but the high of $538 is a meaningful jump — likely tied to specific high-demand departure dates, last-minute searches, or premium-cabin fares mixed into the cache. This asymmetry (small gap below median, large gap above) suggests that patience and flexibility can save you a little, but the bigger risk is paying a premium if you book into a constrained date rather than catching a deal.

We don't have carrier-level or day-of-week detail in this dataset, so we can't say whether a specific airline or weekday departure consistently prices lower — treat any such claim elsewhere with skepticism. What the data does support: budgeting around $380-$390 is realistic for most of the window, and seeing a fare near $363-$370 is a genuinely good price worth booking rather than waiting for. The honest caveat is that this is a 30-day snapshot of cached fares, not a historical trend across months or seasons, so it tells you about current pricing conditions rather than how fares behave as the departure date approaches.
