To get the actual price you will have to pay for your flights, it will depend on a number of things, such as:

1. The day of the week you want to travel: weekdays like Wednesdays and Thursdays are often seen as less busier days as compared to weekends, so prices may be lower than on more active travel days.
2. The time of day you want to travel: early morning flights and late night flights are usually cheaper than rush hour flight tickets.
3. The time of year also influences the cost of tickets. Booking tickets during festive periods like Christmas or Easter could see you pay a higher amount than booking in a period where there’s no festivity or holidays.
4. Flight class: economy, business, and first-class tickets have different prices depending on which you opt for. Choosing a higher class will generally result in a higher ticket cost.
5. Promotions and discounts: You could also make use of promo and discount codes to get a reduction on the cost of flight tickets. 
6. How long in advance you are booking: The farther your travel date is from the day you make your booking, the cheaper the fare will be.
