I think I'll never figure out how people score such awesome deals on airline seat sales. Westjet has this "super awesomer seat sale" on right now for travel from now until Feb 17 and I tried plugging in various dates for a few destinations but never once found the advertised rate for that destination from basically today all the way up to Feb 17. For example, they said $260 to Kona so I looked for that price anywhere but the cheapest I found was $350 (which maybe isn't too bad for Kona, I dunno, but still, that's not $260) but the average price for different weeks more like $450 to $500 and in some weeks it was all the way up to almost $800. I'm sure there is some explanation to it all like there was only a couple fares available at that price and they're all sold now but still then don't still advertise that as the price and wait for people to pin down dates to tell them "BTW it's going to REALLY cost you $XXX more than what you thought." Never mind taxes and all that I know that's always extra anyhow. I can't help but feel like it's a little bit deceptive advertising.
