Began seeing fare issues early last year but this year is much worse even on flts that are nowhere near full. Now seeing more flts a few months out that are showing up without LUT inventory. So far, my airfares are much higher this year than last year.
No doubt DL will release some LUT seats in the future on these flts but they are getting very bold about holding back lower fares. Guess they think they can do this with tight inventory but the market will eventually say if this is good rev management.
