How to read this table
Each figure is the median of the one-way fares HappyFares searches found for that airline on that route in the 30 days to 1 Nov 2026, across a range of travel dates. Only airlines with 10 or more fares on a route are ranked. A median is a typical fare, not a price quote: the cheapest airline on your date can be a different one, so compare them on your date before you book.
