What these numbers are

Cached one-way fares, 9 of 12 legs priced from real observations, put together on September 24, 2026, from fares departing September 24, 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.
