Expedia bait and switch

Grrr. Planning to go somewhere over Memorial day. Have noticed that LH has good availability from FRA to ATL on the 28th, so I start playing.

Find ATL-EWR on DL, EWR-ARN-FRA on SK, FRA-ATL on LH pricing at $575.

Hold the itinerary, come back in 3 hrs later, it's up to $1575.

The sites had been squirrelly all day, so I figure I'm out of luck.

Book the flights anew on Expedia, and get the same fare. This time, decide I'd better ticket right away.

After I put in my CC number, it comes back that the fare is now the $1575...wonder what's going on?

I should call Expedia, but I think I'll just call the ladies at UA in Atlanta who know these things...
