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.

Booking further ahead than that gets pricier, climbing to about $440 around 160 days in advance. Summer and holiday periods tend to shift the window earlier, as demand pushes prices up and inventory tightens sooner.", "methodology": "This booking-window guidance comes from the same monthly in-house analysis of Priceline's own air booking-summary archive.
