Is it common for Fairmont’s Best Available Rate to disappear so quickly in the year?
They might have just changed the description of the rate type. The Savoy seems to be calling it "Daily Flexible Rate" now, which IMO, is a better description than "Best Available Rate". Other properties have been using "Daily Rate" for a while. The BAR was never the "best" rate anyway. BAR was generally the non-discounted rate with flexible terms, and there are typically other rate packages available for less that come with a few strings.
