- Fares
- Half of the 3,494 tickets in the US DOT fare survey for Q2 2025 sold between $200 and $375 one way, median $275. The survey runs a couple of quarters behind, so read it as the shape of the route's pricing rather than today's quote.
- Jul to Sep (Q3 2024): median $275 one way, middle half $200 to $400, 4,880 tickets
- Oct to Dec (Q4 2024): median $275 one way, middle half $175 to $400, 2,983 tickets
