Did you know that Expedia.com and all other internet brokers buy the seats in bulk.

They have complete price control.  A representative at US Airways confirmed it.  So when you see "Bargain Fares" must be purchased in the next hr, etc. It's all crap.

They have tickets in hand and they're playing with the consumers.

And why are airlines able to sell the same type of seat at different levels of prices?  Why does the same coach/economy seat on the same flight, same day, can sell for $500.00 one day, and $1,500.00 the next day.

Buses can't do that.  A bus seat is the same price, whether you purchased it 30 days or 1 day in advance.  Amtrak sells their seats at the same price.

So why do the airlines have this privilege?
