- Fares
- Half of the 497 tickets in the US DOT fare survey for Q2 2025 sold between $175 and $300 one way, median $225. The survey runs a couple of quarters behind, so read it as the shape of the route's pricing rather than today's quote.

- Oct to Dec (Q4 2024): median $225 one way, middle half $175 to $300, 552 tickets
