These fares are indeed "scary". They can't cover their costs.

They were not in compliance with DOT sale regulations when the original T&Cs were posted. If they are reported they will be fined.

Sorry for being dense, but would you please elaborate?

Sure
DOT requires at least the following:
If the number of seats that are made available at an advertised discount fare is limited and/or they are not available on every flight, the ad should specifically state either or both restrictions, as applicable.
Seats for advertised fares must be made available in reasonable numbers for each market that has a fare listed in the ad.
If an ad for a fare is run more than once, a reasonable number of seats must be available at the advertised price whenever the ad is run.
Where there are lengthy blackout periods or certain days of the week when seats at an advertised fare will not be available, the ad must specifically disclose that information in detail.
VX failed on 2 of the 4.

I guess I missed that failure to disclose. By the time I looked, the disclaimers were in place.

The initial ad didn't result in any seat sales. As many had reported, the fares hadn't been loaded until after the new ad was published.

So you don't have a claim. Anyone that saw the initial ad has a claim.

Exactly. The initial ad did not sell any seats because no seats were loaded. This is the violation. They advertised something that was not available.

OK, neither did I.
The fare claims it for travel October 30th and 31st however, I just booked a ticket in December for $25 one way from LAX to SFO!

Reread your post. You originally stated, on Oct 28, that tickets had to be purchased by Oct 27, but that you didn't see that until Oct 29.

No, I think you're just not reading it the way I intended it to sound...what I was trying to say is that I saw that the tickets had to be purchased by 11:59pm on 10/29.
