Fares bottom out in March around $747 and peak in December near $1,135, 52% dearer, across the 4 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 12 hours outbound, on a 14-night trip — ticketed under KLM, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $747 for 8,423 km each way, that works out to about $44 per 1,000 km flown. That is about the $44 per 1,000 km typical of long-haul fares here. Across the 20 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Houston, this fare ranks 4th — 17% above the $641 from Milan. For context, the middle fare among the 36 routes of similar length we watch out of Frankfurt is $674. The best time to be in Houston: Mar–May · Oct–Nov.

Route facts
Good to know
Only slightly. The seasonal median is around $845 round-trip and this fare is 12% under it. We do not call a drop notable until 20%, so this is an ordinary price for the route rather than a reason to hurry.
Across 4 months of cached-fare history, Mar comes out cheapest on this route. The best months to actually be in Houston are Mar–May · Oct–Nov — when those overlap, that's your window.
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet. Answering it honestly means watching the same departure date on this route over many weeks as it approaches, and that archive is still filling up — so any "book N days ahead" figure here would be borrowed from somewhere else rather than measured. What we can measure is which month is cheap: across 4 months of cached fares, Mar comes out lowest on this route. Our guide Why flight prices change covers what does move a fare.
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under KLM. We hold no nonstop fare on this route right now, which does not mean none flies — search your exact dates to see what does.
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on 17 October). Airlines reprice constantly, so the booking search re-checks the live price before you pay. Fresher finds are far more likely to still be available.
