Anc-Pdx 15% insider ?????
I am a bit confused why there is no hot deal ticket available when booking with the new insider discount code EC 1608? I get a bargain fare of $300.95 after discount. When trying to book the same ticket without the discount code I get a hot deal ticket for $305.70.
Anc-PDX AS 80 Connecteing to 2291
I just have a bunch of extra time on my hands and am curious why this is? I know there is different classes of service, but if they are offering a hot ticket for the same flights shouldn't the hot deal be the one discounted? What is the difference between the hot deal ticket and bargain? I know it sounds a bit confusing but why the difference? Is it another AS marketing ploy?

There could be blackout dates or some other kind of inventory restriction.
That said, even with this 15% discount, it's still cheaper to fly to Seattle, rent a car, and drive to Portland for a weekend than it is to fly straight to PDX.
