Well, sort of.

Maybe half a dozen routes are selling at that rate, for example I can get YOW-YVR for $125 one-way if I book three weeks out, but if I want to get on that very same flight, but tack a 12-minute hop to Nanaimo onto the end, that'll run me $567.

​​​​​​YYZ-YVR is dirt cheap all summer, which might be about competition, or it might be about the fact that a route that used to do thirteen directs a day is currently doing four, and they're trying to coax vaccinated travellers back onto airplanes. Then again, YYZ-YVR tomorrow will run you $870 one-way, when they know anyone buying a ticket probably *has* to travel.

Or maybe I'm wrong, and those $59 Flair fares are about to revolutionize the Canadian airline industry.
