Freak AA fare? HNL-Nebraska July 2012

[Verde]

Hi.

I was checking out prices for a flight to Nebraska (I'm pretty sure it was HNL-OMA but it could have been HNL-GRI) and at one stage I came up with First and Instant Upgrade as matching the discount economy fare of $466 for the flight.

Yet as soon as I moved on, I was unable to find anything like it again.

Was it likely a bug, or can anyone give me a hint that might help me find that great price again. I was using AA.com, not the Australian website.

I have a feeling the dates were something like the 4th of July up and then the 10th of July back to HNL but could be wrong.

How tantalising, to have a bargain like that appear but then to lose it within seconds. Any advice / information would be appreciated.

I've had something similar happen. Almost like the website "learns" you looking at a perticular route. I've had it slowly go up by a few hundred dollars as I play with different days and routes. Then I leave it for a few days, go back and the price has dropped again.

2 seperate bookings I've had that happen. The most recent one, once it dropped again, I booked! 10 sectors in total for this booking. Lots of flying.
