I mean, the details aren't made publicly available. You might be right, but I suspect it's more complicated than that.

Several other people have pointed out that's not such a ridiculous price. And I'd like to see an example of somebody having boarding denied for a ticket that was paid for and not canceled ahead of time, just because of what the price was.

Meaningless, for two reasons. One, it's illegal for SQ and TP to coordinate their fares. Two, just because they're not currently offering a promotional price doesn't mean that they never do.

This, on the other hand, I agree with, and it was the only thing that really gave me pause.

I'm not traveling until November. If they want to cancel my flight in the next week or two, fine -- nothing ventured, nothing gained. If they try to deny boarding in November without bothering to inform me about it, well, that's a horse of a different color.
