I was going to book 3 one-way PE tickets YYZ-TPE for October 21 at $1009 CAD each (PE basic). As I was going through the booking process and filled out the passport info etc., just before payment, I thought of checking our hotel reservation, so I closed down the EVA booking window on chrome.

Less than 5 minutes I came back to book the same tickets, and they are gone. Gone.

...??

Now I can only find the $1300+ tickets. Sigh

I found it strange that within 5 minutes those tickets would be purchased by someone else...

If those tickets don’t come back in one day I’m going to book Air Canada or something just out of spite.
