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.
