well that's why I put "Some TPAC fares...".
Also, even if most passengers don't look at the fare class, it still matters because like you said, it depends on the availability. The same price point went from "this is a standard fare" to " we are running a huge sale". I don't think it's fair to bank on the flight being empty/the fare class being widely available to not call this a fare increase
