Bait and Switch

B and I are trying to buy tickets to Florida, and it's proving to be an exercise of immense frustration. What typically happens is that we go on to Travelocity or Expedia, and search for flights to various cities, and eventually find what looks to be the lowest ticket price we're going to get in the post-Christmas rush. And we click on it to buy. And we get a message like this:

We're sorry, the price of this flight has changed from C$440.91 to C$1,071.14

$440 to $1071. Incredible.

We tried that too, and the prices were mostly higher than the original ones given on Expedia and Travelocity. Of course, that may not be true after adjustment.
