Are the fares actually different (e.g., for H, Q, T, B buckets) or is it that they simply release zero space in the cheapest fare buckets for LGA?
Fares are generally cheaper MSP-JFK-MSP than MSP-LGA-MSP, even for the same fare bucket. JFK seems to have special fares specific to JFK even in the same fare bucket. Cheapest L fare MSP-JFK-MSP is $459.54 / $515.00 Total Price and the cheapest L fare for the same dates MSP-LGA-MSP is $506.05 / $565.00 Total Price. There were also even cheaper K and T fares to JFK, but none a month out to LGA. Some of the fares even have JF in them, making me think they're JFK specific fares.
