I'm glad I could make you laugh. As for how justified that is depends on how many people actually fall for "Best Flexible Rate" which is fully unflexible. Just up now (Guangzhou, 9/2):
Best Flexible Rate
￥ 900.00 CNY
Non-Refundable Rate

If enough people fall for it, it's misleading. I almost fell for it a couple of times (being used to booking flexible "Best Flexible Rates", so I can imagine that others go all the way. But we had this discussion before and some people here seem to find it fully acceptable to call a rate "Best flexible rate", even though it's not.
As of now we don't know what the OP has actually booked, so it's a moot point to discuss if he is a victim of deceptive advertisement or just a victim of momentary absent-mindedness.
