The most expensive periods are June (average $1,177), July ($1,046), and December ($997), with late spring and fall offering the best value.", "methodology": "This 'good deal' estimate shows a representative best price for each departure date across roughly a 12-month window (about 3 months back and 9 months forward). It is built from real flight prices found by Priceline users searching this route, accumulated into a price history for each departure date. Rather than weighting all of that history equally, we apply exponential time decay so recent prices dominate — a price seen yesterday counts almost in full, one from about a month ago roughly a third, and prices from a few months back very little — giving a figure that tracks today's market instead of a stale long-run average. Clear price outliers are removed before any calculation, departure dates with no observations are filled in from nearby dates, and the resulting curve is lightly smoothed so it reads as a clean seasonal trend rather than day-to-day noise.", "toolsUsed": ["seasonal_prices"]}, "q5": {"question": "How far in advance should I book tickets from Boston to Split?", "answer": "For flights from Boston to Split, the sweet spot is to book about 23 to 26 weeks ahead, when average fares sit around $817. Booking roughly 180 days before departure can drop the price to around $764, while buying last-minute — within a week — pushes fares above $1,100. For peak summer and holiday travel, aim for the early end of that window or even a bit sooner, as prices tend to climb sharply closer in.", "methodology": "This booking-window guidance is built from the same real flight prices found by Priceline users searching this route, re-grouped by how many days before departure each price was seen (from the departure day out to about 180 days ahead) across the route's price history. At each booking lead time we report the 25th-percentile price — the cheaper end of what travelers were quoted, rather than the rock-bottom minimum (which can be a fluke) or the average (which is pulled up by expensive last-minute fares). The buy-or-wait advice then applies a risk premium that grows as departure approaches, since seat availability shrinks and prices become less predictable; using that adjusted curve we flag windows where waiting is likely to save a meaningful amount (at least $20 or 5%) versus windows where booking now is the better call. Isolated single-day recommendations are filtered out, so the advice only reflects a window that holds for several days in a row.", "toolsUsed": ["booking_timing"]}, "q6": {"question": "Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from Boston to Split?", "answer": "There are no nonstop red‑eye flights from Boston to Split, but several connecting itineraries have an overnight long leg.

The Silver Line bus runs directly from South Station to all terminals, while the Logan Express bus from Back Bay offers a comfortable and affordable alternative.
