Continental fare lock

Have you ever gone searching for a fare, found one you though was good, but just wasn’t ready to lock it in? And then when you went back to check, the fare was gone?

No more. Continental Airlines has introduced Fare Lock. For a small fee, you can lock in a fare up to 7 days. The fee starts at $5 for 72 hours and $9 for the full week and can go higher depending on numerous factors. The fee is non-refundable.

This would be a nice feature for airlines to offer for free to upper level loyality program members. They can continue to charge for the "average joe" to keep their fee profits going but give their loyality program a nice, fairly inexpensive boost.
