Jet 2 are not only operator being accused of 'cashing in' with silly prices. Probably a relatively short term issue where there's a rush of bookings far higher than normal movement at this time of year and the algorithm responds by upping the price.
Would be interesting to see what J2 would have quoted if you'd left it for a day or two.
