I picked those dates at random, but you're right; it's just one date. Still, that's a huge fare difference and it's inexplicable on any day. After all, FI hardly has reason to command a premium on a popular route the US majors cover well. Aside from price, all FI has going for it is that KEF is easy to connect at. Apparently FI at CLE thinks that's worth a $200+ premium, at least on some days. Methinks not.

RNE, saying I'd only fly FI because it's cheap. How about you?
