You can travel anytime before Saturday for only $284 one way. I'm a little confused; aren't you basically saying that the price more than doubles ($130 each way to $284 each way)?

Yes, it doubles at 6 days and under, but my point is, it's neither 14 days nor 21 days for pre purchase, and no round trip is required. The "old" thinking about fares is no longer valid.
