It would be impossible to prove in a setting with dynamic pricing. I bought my flight for $400, the next guy bought it "on sale" for $600, but the third guy bought it at the last minute for $1000. Its still cheaper than the guy who bought last minute. Where companies get in trouble is when they say its been discounted from x price but they never sold any units at x price. Airlines can say that fares are on sale because they do sell seats at higher prices than the sale prices.
