San Francisco → Orlando flights

Median $205 — but a quarter of fares drop to $152

Key takeaways

• Median fare of $205 across the sampled window, with most prices clustered toward the upper end of the range
• Bottom 25% of fares sat at $152 or below, suggesting occasional meaningful discounts do appear
• High end capped at $212, just slightly above the median — the top of the market isn't far off typical pricing
• 39% spread between low and high points to real but not extreme variability
• Only 12 days of snapshots were available, so patterns here are suggestive, not definitive

The full picture

The data shows a fairly tight band for SFO–Orlando: fares ranged from $152 to $212, with a median of $205. That median sitting close to the high end — rather than the middle — suggests most observed fares clustered toward the pricier side, while the $152 low and $152 p25 value represent a less common but real discount tier. A 39% spread is moderate: enough to make shopping worthwhile, but not evidence of wild price swings or panic-fare spikes.

With only 12 days of snapshots, we can't responsibly characterize a booking-window curve — that is, we can't say whether prices softened further out or closer to departure, because the sample doesn't cover enough of the horizon to show a trend. What we can say is that roughly a quarter of the fares seen came in at $152 or lower, so travelers with flexibility have a real shot at beating the median by over $50 if they check pricing repeatedly rather than booking at the first fare they see.

No dominant carrier was identifiable in this data, so we can't speak to airline-specific patterns or day-of-week effects — the sample size and available fields don't support that level of granularity. The honest takeaway: this route shows a modest, not dramatic, price range, and the small sample (12 days) means these numbers should be treated as a current snapshot of market behavior rather than a reliable seasonal or long-term pattern. Anyone booking should use $205 as a reasonable ceiling to compare against, and consider $152–$170 a good deal if it appears.
