Relative Cost of Passage Ticket in Today's Currency Value

In 2020, the relative values of $37.75 from 1910 ranges from $770.00 to $23,400.00.

A simple Purchasing Power Calculator would say the relative value is $1,060.00. This answer is obtained by multiplying $37.75 by the percentage increase in the CPI from 1910 to 2020.

This may not be the best answer.
