Hike in BA flight price in a couple of hours

I was trying to book a return economy flight from Gatwick to Orlando today. Price seemed not too bad (£550 ish).



I needed to confirm dates then went back to book-£900+


That can't be right I thought so tried again shortly after-£1900!!


Can anyone explain what's going on?


Thanks

    Clear your cache (or use a different computer). They've noticed you're interested and have started to manipulate the prices.
