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.

My issue isn't really with the prices...I expect them to be high over Christmas, regardless of the day. I just don't like the fact that it gives me one price when I search, and then a different one when I try to buy. Well, and I do think $1000 is a bit expensive to fly to Florida.

yeah, I had a right long yell session at Air Canada for that. Didn't do much.
