Cancelled and trying to rebook - price went up
I booked an itinerary and realized that I forgot to apply a coupon that I had, so I cancelled it within 10 minutes. However, when I went back immediately after cancellation to book the same itinerary with the same fare classes, the price went up like $50! Should I try to wait and see if releasing this seat back to the inventory will bring the price down again (and if so, wait how long)? Or I should just book the ticket since the price probably is going to keep going up?
The ticket is for departure on Sep 18, 2012.
