Hi everyone, can any of you shed light on the following? I was looking to book future travel on the Crescent from Atlanta to Philadelphia, when I noticed the lowest prices I was seeing were much higher than what I've seen previously. At first I thought this was just due to the summer season (was looking at early Sept), but then started looking at October, as well as off-peak times in January and February 2019, 30 days at a time using AmSnag and seem to have found a consistent result. Previously, I've been able to book one-way roomettes from Atlanta to Philly as low as $314 ($139 base fare + $175 room surcharge), but the absolute lowest I've seen from the middle of this year out is now $452 ($139 base fare +$313 room surcharge). This is pretty scary to me as it's a ~44% increase and would lowest bucket round-trip travel for just up and down the east coast at a whopping $900, which is basically at the level of transoceanic flights...
