I booked in late January, and the best I could find was the Sunday night LAX-JFK red eye for $326, while the return flight was a "normal" $160.

Usually the weekend red-eye is an easy UG to clear, but at the rate J is filling up, I'm not so sure. Y seats on Saturday & Sunday (Feb 21/22) are now quoted mostly $700 and up. By contrast, tickets for this weekend (Feb 14/15) are only $450.

There must be some event going on in NYC driving up the demand, but I can't figure it out. Surely someone on FT must know what is causing this unusual demand and pricing.

Thanks,
