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.

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.
