Exhibit 1,
a West Coast to deep europe flight still 30 days out (mid-July peak season), the lowest available economy connecting via EWR.
Other majors about the same +-10% except for folks like WOW or 3 -4 connections or >20 hours (my criteria was max 2 connections, under 20 hours)
data from google flights
