I'd feel the same way regardless of which industry I was buying from. If you've offered me a product for
£300, I'd feel a little miffed that a few days later it's £450 for no reason (it's not last minute, no changes have been announced, etc.)
I'm fully aware this happens though and that fares change all the time. I was just inquiring to see if there was a specific reason (ie: restrictions being lifted that I hadn't heard about) or if it was just a 'natural' price shift in the market. The explanation of the BA sale being over makes complete sense though.
Oh well, my fault for not buying at the time.
