WestJet launched a 15% off sale today, and in typical fashion AC scrambled to match them, like they always do to one another when the other announces a flash sale. I think they're just rolling out the website banner for it now, the sale runs today and tomorrow.

Your fare discrepancies are around 15%, assuming the taxes didn't change

In my experiences with these flash sales, Google Flights will already absorb the promo code and reflect the sale pricing. You probably caught this on a Google Flights search before the sale was formally advertised on AC.com
Ah, very interesting. That all makes sense - I'm not getting exactly the same price (with the code I get $538 now) but it's very close and if you've seen that before it's the likely explanation - thanks.

I don't suppose there's any way to get them to retroactively apply the code for me (without cancelling and rebooking, in which case I assume the change fees will eat up all of the savings), is there?
