Methodology
- Hotels: latest weekly average of mid-range inventory per city.
- Flights: inbound-flight average per city, origin-agnostic. Your actual fare depends on where you fly from.
- Weekend estimate: 3 hotel nights × 1 room + 2 round-trip flights.
- 4-week trend: compares the latest combined estimate to the closest snapshot from ~28 days ago (only when the baseline is >14 days old).
- 90-day path: sparkline of the last ~16 same-day combined snapshots — the shape is the story.
- Snapshots: refreshed every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday by our pricing cron.
