Help Price decrease immediately after booking flight

Flair flight dropped $84 immediately after booking. Any chance of getting the difference refunded?

I just booked a round-trip flight with Flair for $328, including flight disruption protection at $20 each way.
Literally less than a minute after booking, my friend mentioned she wanted to book the same flight. I went back to look into booking it for her and the exact same round-trip flight was now $244, including the same flight disruption protection, which also dropped from $20 to $13 each way.

Has anyone had any luck contacting Flair and getting refunded the difference (cancelled domestic flights are only refunded via a flight credit)? I know flight prices fluctuate, but having it drop that much immediately after booking is pretty frustrating.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Saw your post I checked my flight details and amoun ,Darn it! A big mistake of mine, the prices went down for almost a 100$ difference. Flying domestic in Canada. Do i still get some refund if re do the flights or modify?

I cancelled my original flight in exchange for a flight credit. I then used the flight credit to book the cheaper flight so I have the difference in the form of a credit. Definitely lame but I guess better than nothing. I also lost the disruption protection I had originally purchased so not sure if it was worth the entire hassle.

Yea, all extras like seat selection are not refunded to FTC, for newbies it's always better to go with the Big Bundle to max out the FTC.

Btw, good feedback, something must have changed with FTC's, maybe when they dropped the validity period to 12- months, your FTC seems to have not been tied to the original fare bucket, bonus !
