In my opinion, it didn't seem organic for all of a sudden that the less expensive fare classes were all of a sudden snatched up.

Anyway...

I just started thinking that AA decided to "force" people to purchase the higher Y fares and may release the lower ones closer to departure day. Besides, the 20th is a Federal Public Holiday and I couldn't believe the fare I found a week ago for departing on on Sunday for my return flight.
