I'm assuming it has to do with %, just wondering if someone could tell me exactly what the trigger is (if there is one)?
Yes, it depends on percentage on AC metal. If it's >0%, it's priced dynamically.

That doesn't always mean the price will be ridiculous. Sometimes an itinerary involving an AC metal segment can be booked for the same price as the partner price, or even less. I've had a few recent good experiences where adding an AC segment cost me very little.

But as soon as you add any AC metal, you're at risk.
