Airfares are structured to increase really quickly in $ as d-day approaches. I'd say people are complaining now because it's the first time for many of them to have actually purchased and flown within a day or so.

Whether you know about it or not is irrelevant, and tit-for-tat, I have been flying to work and back for well over 30 years, domestic and international, and i haven't stopped flying interstate all through the pandemic.... so take that,
and what i posted has bugger all to do with that or your flying experience or the 'normal' price hikes....

.....normally at peak periods such as holidays etc (and short notice) the airlines have the vast majority of there fleets flying so can and do demand higher seat prices, at the moment though most major airports around Aus look like Kingman Airport in the Arizona desert with the amount of planes parked up, get some of them planes back up in the air and spread the load, help justify the recent Gov handouts to prop up the airlines during the pandemic and make more seats available.....
