## A figure in this report was wrong

*Correction / Sep 28, 2026*

Every figure in this report now counts only fares on days the airline schedules a nonstop. Until 28 September 2026 our fare source also returned itineraries with a change of plane under each nonstop route, and we counted them. So some lows this week were for trips that were not nonstop. A reader found it on Boston to Terceira, which has one nonstop a week. We recomputed the figures on this page from the airline's own timetable.

The figure above is left as published, unchanged.

## How to read this

Each figure is the lowest fare we recorded during the window shown, for economy, one adult, on departures that had not already flown when the week closed. It is not the lowest fare that was purchasable at every moment of the week.

Prices are shown in euros. We record the airline's own US dollar fare and convert it once, when we record it, at the European Central Bank reference rate published the day before, so a closed week here prints the same numbers for ever. The airline charges in dollars, and its total at checkout is the one that counts. Every dataset row carries the dollar figure, the euro figure and the rate between them.

Because the change column compares two euro figures, it carries any movement in the euro alongside any movement in the fare; price_usd in the dataset is there for a rate-neutral comparison. Whether a fare is a new low is judged on the dollar series, so a stronger euro cannot print a new low on a route that got dearer.

The change column tracks the one way fare. A figure marked with a second route came from that direction, which can be considerably cheaper than the one the row is named for.

These are published fares, not live inventory, and we never take payment for travel. You book with the airline.
