What cheeses me off

This morning I had a possible incidence of dynamic pricing but more likely just very lucky. I have been waiting to buy J fares on AZ BKK -BCN. I was waiting as today is the first day of my new Amex cycle.

On my preferred day the price was ~ 2700 euros with a range in the week leading up to my date 2400-7000 euros. This morning the price for flights 2 days earlier were 1725 euros. So we are going earlier.

But boy the extras on AZ can be pricey. On the middle J fare option the seats we wanted were 159 euros to select. Now that CMO.All up 4000 euros for 2 tickets.
When selecting seats only 2 occupied but prior to today usually many more were unavailable. Possibly a group cancelled.

People say this but, as before, I’ve never seen it. Please let me know which site and route, I’d love to see it in action. It would be amazing because I can watch the fare buckets and the price and match them exactly between our gds and the websites.

Note, am happy to admit I'm a novice with SQ and their fares, but find that with the flights I'm looking at, J flexible to HKT but then can only get Lite (non refundable) or Flexi fare (considerably more) HKT back to SIN.

Website shows Standard fare (which is what I am happy with) but go right through to complete booking and seat selection - message comes up that cannot be booked.
Guess that bucket has been exhausted.
