Thought I'd post here instead of starting a new thread but AC pricing is crazy.

Booking a flight from YEG - YVR for tomorrow with return - 700$ (all standard)
Booking a flight from YEG - YUL for next week with return- just a little over 700$ (with flex both ways).

Just don't get it. I really think there needs to be some clarify in AC pricing and consumer advocacy groups should be on them.

Also, what does "up to 50% AE miles" mean? For standard fares, it seems to always say "up to" but for flex/comfort/lat is just states the amount explicitly.

Furthermore, with enhanced visa security and pop-up blocker, my payments didn't go through, and on subsequent rebooking attempt, price increased 20$. Didn't bother clearing cookies or going incognito etc.
