I was checking loads (8 passenger trick) for a family leisure flight tomorrow (PHX-MSP) and one has the ability to book a wanna get away fare - which is quite low I might add. I did a gut check and looked at my "normal" flight destinations out of PHX and they show no wanna get away fares (as expected/usual).
I am assuming this a system glitch - I wish WN would provide lower fares closer in (based on load factors of course) - it would certainly influence my leisure travel patterns.
Not a glitch!
We currently have WGA fares in this market that require no advance purchase at all!
While definately not "the norm" we have always had the ability to offer WGA fares with varying advance purchase options. Typically we use no advance, 1 day, 3 day, 7 day, 14 day and 21 day. But, really we can put any advance that we need to based on current market conditions.
Enjoy your close-in WGA fares!
