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.

During summer and major holidays, demand pushes prices higher, so booking a bit earlier than the standard window is wise; booking more than 4-5 months ahead typically costs much more.", "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.
