| Aug 30, 2022 at 12:54 | comment | added | Kate Gregory | @AnishSheela the screenshots are from aircanada.com eleven years ago. I'm not sure how that's relevant information? What matters here is the patterns in the price, not who would have offered a flight for that money over a decade ago. | |

| Dec 4, 2019 at 10:45 | comment | added | Gigili | That's definitely the truth and exactly what happened to me during the course of 2 months visiting an airline website and checking price for a specific time. | |

| Feb 22, 2017 at 19:44 | comment | added | Kate Gregory | @gerrit I was only tracking the direct flights. It's possible there was a connection available between YYZ and YVR (probably YYC or YEG) with some Tango or T+ fares. You can see the blue at the bottom of the pic - that will be the header for the non direct flights. | |
| Feb 22, 2017 at 19:23 | comment | added | gerrit | @KateGregory Any idea why the Day's lowest fare in the final screenshot says $389 whereas the lowest fare listed in the screenshot is $1437? | |
| Feb 22, 2017 at 18:46 | comment | added | Kate Gregory | @gerrit probably, since I posted before 11pm. Doesn't appear to have hurt comprehension over the last 5+ years, and I don't think fixing it is worth bumping it to the front page. | |
| Feb 22, 2017 at 18:44 | comment | added | gerrit | Is 11m a typo for 11am? | |

| May 7, 2014 at 18:00 | comment | added | Kate Gregory | @Imray skeptics.stackexchange.com/q/9597 says not so, travel.stackexchange.com/q/16581/46 says maybe | |
