Don't know for sure, but perhaps the difference is that NYC and WAS are much, much larger metro areas than the CLT metro area; presumably, the NYC and WAS flights are filled with O&D traffic while the CLT flight relied on connecting passengers. Typically, nonstop passengers are willing to pay higher average fares than are connecting passengers.
