Tango fare release patterns on Rouge
 

I have a question, does AC Rouge release cheaper tango fares (A, K, L, T)closer to the flight day, I am tracking a fare to LAS two weeks out, the flight seat map seems quite empty and I watched the S fares going from 9+ to 0 in a few hours on EF, so I am pretty sure these weren't purschased but they are just pulling the fare classes based on some kind of revenue model, what do you think?

Generally speaking, flights to the US do not get cheaper within the last 2 weeks.

Here's an example I saw in the last couple of days:

YYZ-LAS RT for late January 2017

Seat maps and EF for ACr 1837 and 1836 show almost empty cabins.

Tango Fare was $242 + $287 = $436 All in (didn't look at the bucket)

A day later, $335 + $287 = $622

Looks like AC sold out of the single seat at $436. :D

It is actually LAS-Canada, if it matters. I procrastinated buying it when it was $188, next day was 265, next day 300+ USD, lol. For a two hour flight midweek on an empty 767...They have to be kidding...I have back up award flights so I am gonna watch this play out for training purposes...

Remember, most non status pax do not select seats because of the cost. I take these flights around 7x per year(always mid week) and they are generally full. Mid week travel is usually for trade shows.

Distressed inventory for leisure routes gets dumped to Air Canada Vacation packages. So unless you are going to book a hotel alongside the flights or deal with opaque/discounted bookings that are not public, 99% chance is that your flight will get more expensive closer to day of departure.

If you think a two hour flight for 300+ USD is excessive you haven't been flying enough.

Yea, this probably will get more expensive for publicly available fares, this is also Vegas I guess. I am used to buying early the heavily discounted fares, so I am not liking this...
