If I've had a case of actually understanding airline pricing, its been very few and very far between. Just the nature of the industry. I've given up trying to understand.

For example:

- T+ sometimes sells for less than T.
- J often sells for less than Lattitude (though, to be fare (haha), the cheaper J tickets are most likely discounted J, while Lattitude is mostly full fare)
- I think I even saw one flight to MEX where J was equal to or less than T+.
- checking the fare of my CVG-ORD on UA yesterday a couple of days before, it was booking into the F cabin as the cheapest available, even though there were definitely many seats available in Y cabin classes below full fare levels

Like I said, I've given up trying.
