- Fares
- Half of the 626 tickets in the US DOT fare survey for Q2 2025 sold between $125 and $275 one way, median $200. The survey runs a couple of quarters behind, so read it as the shape of the route's pricing rather than today's quote.

Fares held steady through the year: a median of $200 one way in every quarter of the DOT ticket survey (Q3 2024 to Q2 2025). Bars show the middle half of one-way fares; the mark is the median.
