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.

Booking much earlier is costly — 180 days out averages $430 — while waiting until the last week pushes prices back up to around $250-269. For summer and holiday periods, you should book further in advance, roughly 8-12 weeks ahead, as those peaks typically see higher demand and less last-minute availability.", "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.

The most popular and hassle‑free option is a taxi or ride‑share, which takes around 25–40 minutes depending on traffic and costs the most. Public buses (JUTC) do not serve the airport directly, but route taxis and shared minibuses run along the main road; they’re the cheapest but require a short walk from the bus stop.
