Project overview

This project explores airline ticket pricing using the flight dataset, with a focus on how fares vary by airline, booking window, travel class, route structure, stops, timing, and duration. The report includes eight polished graphics and uses bar charts, scatter plots, box plots, heatmaps, line charts, and an interactive Plotly visualization.

Figure 2: Ticket price vs days left before departure

Figure 3: Economy vs business class ticket prices

Figure 4: Price distribution by number of stops

Figure 5: Heatmap of source and destination average prices

Figure 6: Departure time vs average price

Figure 7: Flight duration vs ticket price

Figure 8: Interactive ticket price by days left and class

Closing note

Together, these eight graphics show that airfare is shaped by multiple factors rather than a single driver. Airlines, booking window, class, timing, route, number of stops, and duration all contribute to variation in price, and the interactive figure allows the viewer to inspect those patterns at the flight level.
