August 22 Event?
Is there any big event or convention the week of August 21 I'm not aware of?
Looking at flights PDX-OAK/SFO on Tuesday August 22; they've never not been $250-$300+, which is ~$200 more than every other summer week. Southwest is actually showing sold out for a bunch of flights August 21/22. Any ideas?

Out of curiosity, I looked on kayak.com for DEN-SFO fares on Aug. 22. Pretty much the same as on Aug. 23. I would think that if the solar eclipse is driving the PDX fare spike, it would also hit the DEN flights.

The solar eclipse will be viewable from the Portland area on Aug 21. The Aug 22 fare spike is likely people returning home to SFO afterwards.
