Obviously fares vary by market but just last week, WN wanted $330 for one way SFO-DEN while UA wanted $210 in Y, $375 in F.
Ha Ha. You can fly Frontier SFO-DEN for 179.70 in Classic Plus which gives you two free bags, Stretch seating (like Economy Plus on UA) and free TV. For 149.70 you get two free bags and free TV. You don't get any of that on UA or WN. For 124.70 you get their lowest fare. People book on Southwest website assuming they always have the lowest fare, but they're frequently hundreds of $$$$ more than other airlines.
