A flight back to SFO from LAS literally went from $56 to $299 one-way, like that's ridiculous. Same with a short flight from SFO to LAX on 3/31-4/1 going from $45 one-way to over $299 as well. Is this likely to settle down back to its regular fares of earlier? The 3/26-3/29 dates are literally weekdays so I don't understand how these blew up that fast.
I'm tracking some flights later in the summer to MSP and this same thing happened over the past couple days. $386 r/t shot up to $742, then back down (but not quite to the same level). Weird. Dunno what the heck that was and I don't think there are any ginormous conferences in MSP those weekends...
