History, not a price to book: what the average passenger paid per one-way trip in each quarter (Q2 2025 $298 · Q3 2025 $295 · Q4 2025 $305 · Q1 2026 $320).

Fare outlook, Q1 2027: about $327, likely $283–$372

The average fare paid we expect a year after Q1 2026, the newest DOT quarter. On this route, past forecasts made this way fell inside the range 95% of the time over 21 quarters (median error 4.2%). An estimate from US DOT data: not a price you can book, not a guarantee, not advice on when to buy. How the outlook works

Cheapest quarter on this route: Q3, typically 4% below the year's average (9 years of DOT data, without 2020–21).

Delay compensation (EU261 / UK261)

Measured by great-circle distance: 1,489 km.

Neither EU261 nor UK261 covers this route: it neither starts nor ends in the EU, EEA, Switzerland or the UK. Other countries have their own rules (for example Canada's APPR or Brazil's ANAC rules).

Close to the 1,500 km band edge
This route is within 50 km of 1,500 km, where the amount changes. Airlines and courts measure from the exact airport coordinates — check the figure they use.

Also owed for a cancellation with less than 14 days' notice or denied boarding. Not owed for extraordinary circumstances. On a connection, the distance to the final destination counts. From 23 October 2027 the EU's Regulation 2026/2202 applies; it keeps these amounts (what changes in 2027). Information, not legal advice.
