What a shame..
I'm not too worried about it, at these prices they will not be able to fill their planes.
I believe they will soon adjust their prices or drop TLV.

I wonder what's behind the pricing strategy, in China most carriers offer substantial discounts to tour operators (most Chinese will not travel independently due to cultural and language barriers) so maybe they leave some room for future discounts.
