I'm curious about this too so long as it fit within my time frame which is actually pretty wide, I'd be willing to snag a flight or hotel reservations just about anywhere....

Any sites?

Google "overbooking."

op here...googling overbooking reveals nothing. All that reveals is when airlines boot you off of a flight because they overbooked. I am talking about when people intentionally cancel a reservation. The seat that they were going to occupy then becomes available and it seems that someone would like nothing better than to resell it. It is similar to flying standby, which used to be a thing.

Anyone else have anything to add?

Not the guy who keeps saying google overbooking, but that's your answer. Airlines have a formula by which they oversell their flights with a high probability a certain percentage of those people will not show up for the flight for whatever reason. If you ever take a statistics class you will learn the details on how this works.

Whatever seats are open from cancellation, they shift people around to fill them. Ever shown up for a flight and your seat was changed. Or they use them for standby flyers, those guys you see waiting off to the side or in line at the service desk before a flight. Thise fares are still full priced, if not more expensive, than a standard ticket.

In short, cancelled flights are expected, and accounted for in overbooking. There is specific availability or discount for them
