The pricing algorithm was definitely changed in the last few weeks (maybe Feb 1?). Pricing and availability oddities, whereas it normally is quite comparable.
It fortunately seems somewhat stabilized again now.....just booked two more PEK-EWR-PEK returns that more reflect the "old system". Maybe they were trying something out, or there was a glitch? Not sure.
EDIT: I don't mean the "same", I mean "about the same". Difference between $1000 and $800 for a return ticket is "about the same" (to me), i.e. it won't influence my purchasing decision.
Not having lower class buckets available at all, and having price differences of double, etc. is NOT about the same (to me).
