On the return leg, the typical duration is 7 hours 55 minutes, making the westbound journey about 1 hour 5 minutes longer due to prevailing winds.", "methodology": "Carrier service, flight times and distances for this route come from our flight-schedule database, which draws on published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data, and observed operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We report the days of the week and the departure times each carrier operates. The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time, given both per carrier and across all carriers on the route; where a schedule does not publish an elapsed time, it is derived from the scheduled departure and arrival times converted to UTC. Outbound and return times are computed by the same method, so the difference between them is directly comparable and reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in derivation.

For each calendar day we take a representative round-trip fare — a blend of the 25th-percentile and average ticket price over the route's bookings — and Gaussian-smooth the series so it reads as a clean seasonal trend rather than day-to-day noise. Thin and international routes are neighbor-filled: the seasonal shape is borrowed from the nearest dense routes (by origin-and-destination great-circle distance) with the price level anchored to the route's own bookings, so a sparse route still shows a plausible curve.

The absolute cheapest day to book is about 35 days out at $345, while booking more than 3 months ahead or within the final weeks tends to push prices above $400. Summer and holiday periods typically require booking further in advance, as peak-season demand raises fares and reduces last-minute deals.", "methodology": "This booking-window guidance comes from the same monthly in-house analysis of Priceline's own air booking-summary archive. It expresses the typical round-trip fare as a function of how many days before departure a trip is booked — from about 180 days out down to the day of departure — aggregating the route's bookings by advance-purchase days and Gaussian-smoothing the curve the same way as the seasonal baseline.
