It no more means folks can book at rock bottom prices en mass than Walmart sells burger meat or steaks at the same price on day 1 of cutting as they do on last 12 hours before discarding.
Those who time it right get a bargain. Others pay regular price.
So one might wonder, who is bs-ing whom if the sthick is based on the fringe outliers and not the norm.
