WN starting at $49 one way
Look for matches maybe? Historically some have matched like UA.
Also this is not based on distance but seems to be based on select city pairs...

This is definitely not the great WN "zone" fare of years past: most of the routes represent little to no savings. But there are a few bargains, especially on the $49 routes. I guess somebody could find a segment run worthwhile -- somewhere.

Yea, probably more 'Good Deals', but whatever, we might as well list them somewhere, no?

Yeah, they need a tier between the $49 and $99. From ATL there's only JAX at $49. The $99 might look good compared to recent fares for some places, but is a real increase in some cases from 2 years ago. So far the WN takeover of FL has been a real dud for fares ex-ATL.

This presents actually a good miles SPENDING opportunity. I booked DTW-BWI for 2475 RR points plus US$ 2.50 "terrorism tax".
The current dollar sale price would be $46.50 + $2.50. Hence, a $ now only costs about 53 points - usually, Wanna Getaway Rewards Fares cost 70 points to the Dollar.
YMMV on other routes.

$49 to PDX from SMF on AS. Bought two tickets for November. Usually it is $79 or maybe $69 one way.

Same crap as usual from RDU, nothing interesting that I saw sadly.
