Data cohort: Flights departing May 16, 2015 – June 20, 2015• Observation period: 7 days ending May 9, 2015
Notes• In quiet periods such as this, where “strategic” fare moves are fewer, you really get to see the more
“tactical” fare change intervals in action: the $10, $15, $20, etc.

Data cohort: Flights departing May 16, 2015 – June 20, 2015• Observation period: 7 days ending May 9, 2015
Notes• LAX and DEN are also on the list for drops. Considering the relatively low percentage of
drops nationwide, this may be good reason to check out some deals…

Notes• From the fare hike on
the LA/Chicago last week comes a welcome reprieve: 91% of our tracked fares between the two cities dropped by a median $58.
• Not-so-welcome news for those traveling JFK-SFO, however. Prices on this mainstay route are up by median $43, for 70% of fares.
