What's the deal with that?
Based on the early morning timestamp on your post, it is likely that a new fare file was being processed (they often happen in the wee hours of the morning when there is less Customer impact). However, it is also possible, that someone snagged the inventory for the lower priced seat out from under you. If there was only 1 seat left at that fare, and someone else clicked purchase before you could, it would move you to the next lowest price available.
