That's quite a jump, and I can't believe that CO sold all the seats in that particular fare class all of a sudden (I forgot to check the original fare class since I assumed that the fares would stay constant for a while). Are these fares cyclical at all? Can I expect them to go down between now and May, or are we just SOL? I just can't see spending 700 bucks to fly that relatively short route.
Thanks for any help!

I noticed the same thing to Ecuador. I believe they dropped the fares temporarily to match a sale from one of the Central American carriers, which has since raised its fares. It's hard to tell when they might drop again. You might want to monitor the route via Travelocity, and watch for one carrier to have a sale that CO might match.
