The low fare is the lowest possible fare currently being offered in this market on the least expensive airline on the least expensive travel days and dates. Consider this fare a starting point when you begin your low fare search. Keep in mind, this fare will not be available on all airlines or travel dates. Surcharges will usually apply to fly on the most popular days of the week, to fly during peak or holiday seasons, to fly without a 14 or 21 day advance purchase, etc.
The average fare is the average fare actually purchased on this route over the last 90 days. The total includes all taxes and fees. It will generally be higher than the low fare because not every itinerary qualifies for the lowest possible fare in a market. The number is calculated from a random sample of buyers from a group of on-line travel sites with whom we partner.
