I once played the game and got a flight from OKC to BWI for $88 on a Friday. The flight went via Chicago and Detroit, and I'll never fucking do that again, but I was just seeing if it could be done.

As I was sitting on the plane in Detroit waiting to be de-iced and trying to remove the iron rod from my ass that had shown up at some point over Lake Michigan, I heard the guy next to me, who was only flying from Detroit to BWI, talking about his ticket, which had cost him somewhere around $300. That made a guy in the seat behind us, who had also gotten on the plane in Detroit, perk up and exclaim, "Mine cost $900!"

It's frickin' magic, I think.
