Just now, I was booking a SCE-DTW-SHV flight on nwa.com and went to save it without purchase since the dates weren't yet firm. I forgot to check the "I agree with the terms and conditions give us your firstborn" box so it didn't initally save. I clicked it and this time it saved everything just fine. I then noticed the fine print that said that prices may have changed since my last visit (3 seconds before when I forgot to check the box). And sure enough, the price had indeed gone up.

By one cent.

Was it because I forgot to check the box? Did inflation suddenly rear its ugly head? Has anyone dealt with a more severe increase? I've never had this happen before and it's actually rather funny, as long as the increases stay in 1-2 cent range.

(I apologize if this has already been covered in previous post but the search engine was slow and I have to get back to work.)
