I have been following fares from Sea-Bjx for months now waiting to see if the R fare would go down any from the posted $1300 RT. This morning on a second try I got $886. Stunned ( since I had just plugged in the same dates an hour earlier and got $1300) I got as far as the "pay now" page but wanted to make sure I had put in the right dates and destination.....you guessed it... I lost the fare when I started "playing around" with the back/forward on the computer. It went back up to $1300.... I even tried finding the original page on my internet history.

I find it hard to believe that someone else at the exact same moment was looking for this itinerary as well and got the fare first....Is it possible I was seeing some lower fares before they were officially loaded in?

What happened?
