Perhaps I misunderstood, but I thought one of the "selling points" of Independence was that their ticket prices were the same no matter how far in advance you purchased your ticket. At least that's what an IndyAir pilot posting here boasted some time back... something along the lines of "you can just walk up to the counter and the fare will be the same as if you reserved a week or more in advance."
I'm helping a friend with some travel plans, and the prices on the same route are all over the map. What started out as an $89 flight booked ten days in advance (and then cancelled after payment) has turned into $189 same-day fare, and rates from $83-$169 ten days out, all along the same route.
Naturally this is the same kind of stuff that all other airlines do, but I thought Independence was supposed to do like Saturn did in the car world... One price, no haggle. Obviously I'm wrong, but am I also wrong in thinking that this wasn't the original plan?
