About a week ago I booked a ticket from Detroit to Bangkok on Delta (code-share). The price was 1,300 and some odd dollars. Not a bad fare, especially since adjacent dates cost a lot more, however, I had seen it cheaper a few days before. Looked like the fares were moving up fast.

Today I was curious to see how much it had gone up and checked again. Turned out that the fare had gone down by nearly $400. I called Delta and complained. Without question my fare was reduced, except that I had to pay a $100 reissue fee, so nearly $300 credit.

The moral of the story is that it may pay to continuously monitor the fare for your itinerary and call if it has gone down by a noticeable amount.

BTW, I will be writing Delta to dispute the $100 fee, however, I doubt I will get anywhere with that ... even though I have flown nearly 3 million miles with that airline.
