In 2010 (IIRC) there was a government shutdown that resulted in the feds not collecting the per-ticket tax on plane tickets.
 
The airlines just temporarily raised the price for the duration of the shutdown.
 
Businesses aren't going to charge you less than you've already shown you're willing to pay.
