  No lol. The experienced travelers on flyertalk.com have noticed this "price flexibility" during recent Air Canada sales: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/air-c...way-stuff.html

  Well hopefully they lower the prices down BEFORE the promo ends. Otherwise, pretty useless promo.

  I had no idea. Thanks for the info!

- I found that by starting by search over at RFD's link I could get a lower price....but not when I tried new searchs. Difference was about $2500 on trip to China

- I watch worldwide prices quite often so I check whenever these sales come out for the 15% off, and every single time, Air Canada has raised their price to compensate for the discount. I'm sure there are obscure locations that you actually get some discount, but in most cases AC is just using smoke and mirrors to try and fool it's customers.

- See that I said I saved $2,500 today on airfare. Oops, make that $250 (on two adult fares to China)

  Wow...that's a pretty shady business practice. The good part is that I only fly Air Canada when there are fewer choices (i.e. primarily on domestic routes) and for many destinations I have an idea of what a 'good deal' for that route would be. So it doesn't really matter if they want to jack up the prices the day of the sale, with some knowledge of airfares in general and some comparison shopping, one should be able to tell if it's actually a good deal or not. It would be an interesting exercise to benchmark these fares against what you would find through Kayak, etc. (i.e. against other carriers).

  I thought that is illegal in Canada?

- Im very leary about dealing with airlines. Their margins are so small that they try any method of profit maximization they can. pI know its a bit of a sardonic perspective but given airlines past; price discrimination, cost cutting measures and "promotions" i am inherently cautious to say the least

  Very illegal. Retailers used to do that, where they would raise prices so they could 'discount' them to the original. Say a pair of jeans that was always $50, goes up to $75 followed by a 33% off sale.
  
  The problem with airlines is that there is already so much volatility in their pricing, day to day, that it almost impossible to say prices jumped as a result of the sale or co-incidentally to the sale. Even if it was intentional (and I am going to guess that it was) it would be a hard case to prove. It isn't like goods and services you buy at retail where the price stays pretty much the same for months or years and a sudden jump coinciding with a sale is noticeable.

- I've been checking prices on Air Canada everyday for the last month because I want to go to SF over thanksgiving long weekend (October 2012). I saw round trip flights a couple of weeks ago for $470 (flying in September 2012). I was hoping that I could grab some tickets for the same price flying out in October and when I saw the 15% off I got excited. Using this promo -- flight will cost $640 round trip !!!! No way is this a sale :-(

  The airfare pricing model is fairly consistent as it relies on easily tracked inputs. If a regulator wanted to investigate, it would not be overly hard to do so.

  I'm sure they would attribute it to sales changing weekly and different promotions etc. Basically they have sales almost every week, and on weeks that there is a 15% discount, there are no sales or very minor sales, so you get 15% a higher price. Most people would probably only notice the fact they are getting 15% off and feel it's a good deal.
