They are, but a $15 swing overnight is common and Vegas flights are often cheap anyway because the casinos subsidize the airlines.

I mean my flight from MSP --> LAS around this exact april timeframe last year was $280...

More like $280 to $164, which by my math is about 40%

Sounds like tanking to me

no such thing

They're trying not to go bankrupt
I wonder if flying a 1/3rd loaded plane at 40% the normal cost is still profitable to just grounding the flight

The plane still has to fly. Airline schedules are immensely complicated and if specific aircraft aren't where they're supposed to be that impacts later flights.

10% decrease overnight on something that typically goes up in price as you get closer to the date is definitely what I would consider to be tanking

Good point, didn't think about connections and whatnot.

Round trip for one

Might take your advice on that when I check again tomorrow. I do remember reading about how they'll learn you're looking for a trip and increase the prices as you check.

Unless he's booking within 2 weeks it's irrelevant.

Airlines do sales and prices always fluctuate.
