SFO–Lima has held flat at $380 across every snapshot

Key takeaways

• $380 was the price in every single snapshot — median, low, and high all match
• 0% spread means no fluctuation was captured in this data window
• Only 8 samples collected, a thin sample size for drawing booking-timing conclusions
• No carrier data surfaced strongly enough to credit a dominant airline
• p25 and p75 both sit at $380, confirming the lack of observed variance

The full picture

The data for SFO–Lima shows something unusual: all 8 snapshots came back at exactly $380, with no variation between the low, median, high, p25, or p75 figures. That's a 0% spread — either this route's pricing is genuinely stable over the window we sampled, or the snapshots happened to catch the same cached fare repeatedly without picking up any fluctuation.

With only 8 samples, we can't responsibly say anything about when prices soften in the booking horizon. A real read on timing patterns typically needs a larger, more varied set of snapshots spread across weeks or months — ideally capturing both early-booking and last-minute price behavior. Right now, we simply don't have enough movement in the data to identify a cheaper window, a day-of-week effect, or a point where fares historically drop.

No dominant carrier emerged clearly from this dataset, so we can't credit or blame a specific airline's pricing strategy for the flat rate. What we can say with confidence is that $380 has been the consistent price point every time this route was checked during the sample window — that's useful as a benchmark if you're deciding whether a quoted fare looks high or low.

The honest caveat: 8 samples with zero spread is a small and suspiciously uniform dataset. It's possible the fare cache wasn't refreshing between snapshots, rather than the market genuinely holding flat. Treat $380 as a reasonable reference point, but don't assume this route won't show more normal price variation once more data accumulates.
