Highest FC Fare? Can You Beat $2544?
I was looking at some mileage run/quick trip tickets and ran across this one from SAN>OGG and got to wondering how high can the fares get? Fwiw, note the HORRIBLE 6.5 hour overnight layover. What's that equate to? 3-4 hours of sleep? How/why would anyone ever opt for this?

No idea if the bottom one is bookable... these are the fares for ANC-FAI today.

For that price, I would drive down from Fairbanks, take you for a good meal and drive you back and deliver you to wherever in the Fairbanks area you wanted to go.

2) Published fares (not referring to this quoted screenshot, but generally) can be like the sign on the hotel door - the "maximum." And lest we forget that some discounted contract fares may be based upon a discount on a certain fare bucket within a booking class.
