Pronouns, those sneaky ambiguous things.

Who, pray tell, do you mean by "they?"

If Forbes? They have no idea.

If the OTA, they haven't said anything yet.

So, which are you talking about?

From Forbes:
"Normally this wouldn’t be an issue for a small
regional carrier — shorter flights use less fuel
and don’t need a higher fuel surcharge."

??? ???
Love me or hate me. I still love you.

Maskim, is there a method to this madness? What could be the common denominator?
I used an Amex and I booked from a Canadian IP. I'm also a galitzianer.
Do we have anything in common that can explain it.

I can't use the ticket, so I'm just gonna cancel it. I didn't lose anything, but it makes me sad :(

They don't give credit to Dan or Dansdeals but do give to TPG who only reported it after 9PM. And, they don't keep Shabbos either. It's probably better this way.

Bruh, where were you when my suitcase weighed it 51.50 pounds?

So what's the Maskana, could cancel for 24 hours from booking or from receiving confirmation email?
