I wonder if it's because of the flash sale that WN is running today only for travel on select Tuesdays and Wednesdays in September. Seeing transcons (OK, connections) < $200 RT ai, and otherwise their shortest routes for as low as $72 RT ai. If this is a fare war, I wish it would expand to other carriers.

try adding in a connection since you are probably looking at N/S inventory. or take the train to DCA. when flying out of PHL i have always found US to be cheapest on short haul regional but going west United usually beat them out

Thanx OP!! ^
Just got a DCA-PHL-SFO-PHX-LAX-PHL-DCA for $208 with next day return!
It comes down to 0.03 PQM and 0.01 RQM with the Chairman & the double miles bonus!!
For those that wonder, the T&C of the double miles promo from DCA explicitly specify that the bonus applies to all connecting flights of an itinerary that originates or ends at DCA!
