I'm fairly new to following all things MR related (and the frequent flyer world in general) but in the past 2-3 weeks or so of being completely dialed in on fares and watching the market I've noticed that the 2 weeks post Thanksgiving week seem to have extremely aggressive fare pricing (and not just regional).

My question is this a typical yearly seasonal low behavior, end of year financials push, or is it more typical of the 4-6 week supply/demand timeline?? Meaning that in 2-3 weeks can we expect to see a similar push for end of Jan/early Feb. fares (subject to demand of course)?? International fares that I've seen for $700 or so are running $1100 further out and I'm curious if this is just a one-off low demand season or is the typical cycle of airline pricing?

Thanks!
