And what is the availability of fare classes of said fare last night vs. this morning (vs. this afternoon)? People buy tickets, taking out lower fare inventory. IM might adjust, based on high sales and thinking they can get more. If people stop buying, they’ll adjust downwards. Your searching has minuscule to zero affect on this - pretty much 100% chance this would have happened anyway, even if you hadn’t realized it.
