What these numbers are

Cached one-way fares, 11 of 12 legs priced from real observations, put together on November 12, 2026, from fares departing November 14, 2026 onwards. Right for comparing one order with another, not a quote for your dates.

A plan prices your own dates and weighs hours as well as fares, so it can pick a different order from this page.

One press starts it on January 16, 2027 to January 30, 2027, 14 days, for 2 travelers. Our dates, not yours, and about two minutes.
