Strange Pricing
I was recently searching for a flight from MKE-DEN and came across a flight that would work the best, it was a T fare on a ERJ from MKE-CLE-DEN. I had searched for a flight that had at least a leg in first, and when realising that I'd be in coach i searched again. Same flights came up, same fare codes came up but this time instead of being $670 it ws $290. Is this a common occourance? I somewhat figured that if all things were the same that the cost of the tickets would be the same.

The FC search is probably brining up the lowest refundable coach fare.
