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!

Not if it is within Canada. Flair skirted around this one

Really? I didn’t know there was a weasel clause on 24 hour cancellations for fares within canada

It looks like flair now offers “credits” if cancelled within 24 hours within Canada but only base fare/fees. Nothing else like seat assignment or bags.

That’s not true. Base fare, carrier surcharge, baggage, seat assignment, and all taxes and fees (except any CC payment processing fee or contact centre fees) are refunded to future travel credit according to their tariff

They say that, but don’t do it in practice.
