You can use key-path collection operators, assuming someTrips is a property of
self:
NSNumber *minPrice = [self
valueForKeyPath:@"sometri...@min.adultfinalprice"];
NSNumber *maxPrice = [self
valueForKeyPath:@"sometri...@max.adultfinalprice"];
By the way, minValue and maxValue in your example need to be declared with
__block or they'll be captured as read-only constants.
