Hi Tamara, I would guess that it was probably a coincidence. I've been burned by this, not by Travelocity, but by booking directly on the airline's site. We checked prices on Travelocity, found the best fare, went to American's website to reserve our seats, planning to call all the travelers that night and ticket it the next day. When we went to actually ticket the flight *one day later*, each seat had gone up over $150. We went back to Travelocity and all the airlines had raised their prices, not just American. Moral of the story: if you get a good price, try to ticket your flight the same day! If you read the fine print, the reservation holds a seat on the flight for you only, but not the fare that's shown on the reservation, as we found out the hard way.
FYI: Travelocity shows flight price but doesn't include the taxes which can be $100 or more, which is why we usually go directly to the airlines site to see what we're really going to pay per ticket. It does pretty well at finding the cheapest flight, especially if you're flexible in your travel dates, and will even list options like splitting your flight between two airlines which are hard to research manually.
