    This great answer to a similar question should tell you all you wanted to know.

    The old question and answer are still good. Just because the airline shows the same customer-facing service class doesn't mean it's the same fare class under the hood. Airlines typically work with a lot more fare classes than they have cabin classes, exactly so they can adapt price do demand without publishing new fares all the time.

    It'd be poor economics if they could only ever go up; a competitor could simply offer a fare slightly below BA's and be assured of getting all the price-sensitive customers. BA must have at least the ability to lower fares, even if only to be able to make a credible threat of a fare war to deter their competitors from undercutting them.

    You can try searching for that flight on Kayak and see how they think the price is going to move. Prices can go down, if a flight doesn’t fill up as fast as expected or they try to respond to a competitor’s promotion, but in general they go up, especially at busy times like holidays.
