If I were to guess, AC’s pricing and revenue prediction models relied too much on what happened post pandemic and ran into a brick wall when extrapolating the past put fares for the second half of 2024 and the first half of 2025 to a ridiculous level which caused customers to balk.
Depending on how responsive to recent data their dynamic pricing models are, I expect fares to drop significantly in the next few months.
I am just a sample size of one but I have no travel booked further than 6 months out which is rare for me. I am tracking 4 Google Flights and I am not willing to pay anywhere near the current prices.
