help me remember when Tango>Fun transborder
I booked tickets for Florida, for Ontario March break (on AC, yeah! not Jetsgo) way back in November. Now I am looking at them again for departure next week, and I see that I booked Tango. Now I am doubting myself, (was I really that clueless) and was the Fun fare already lower than Tango at that time? What I mean is, I am pretty sure that by last November the Fun Fares had been adjusted to be $1 cheaper than the Tango fare. Or do they pick their spots with that price strategy and keep the lower tango fares for "holiday destinations". Or was fun still higher at that time?
If indeed the fun fare was lower then I have a big "D'Oh" for myself...
in case it matters it is yyz-pbi
we will see what happens with no advanced seat selection, family of four with two small ones, will we get to sit together?

This was talked about at the most recent "DO". They don't want you to buy the Tango fares on transborder but haven't figured out a way to exclude them from the "fare view" pop-up. This is why they have priced Tango higher than Fun , to discourage people from using it on transborder.

I keep watching these particular flights, because I don't want to go Tango:
This is YYZ-MCO and the pattern is the same for the return. I need to be there the first week of June and I'm not paying for the tickets 
At the do, they said very clearly that Fun is cheaper than Tango cross border, but that's just not always true.
Code:
Op. Depart Arrive Ac Stops Tango Fun Latitude Freedom Executive AC906 09:55 12:37 320 0 $294 $330 $648 $800 $755 AC922 20:55 23:37 319 0 $193 $208 $648 $800 $755

I am flying the LAX - YVR corridor a lot. Tango and Fun as usually within $20 of each other, but sometimes Tango is $100 cheaper and other times vice versa. It makes little sense whenin the end one fare is still $200, one is $250 just depends on what they are calling it.
