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.

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.
