Remembering that the non-Florida flights didn't start until April 8, and there were introductory fares for all of them.
I think CMH is one of the most interesting because it took a long time to fill the planes and they dropped the intro fares to $15 each way for a while, but eventually it did well. It's tough to imagine that will be true in January/February, but it reverts to 3 x in the spring.
RDU has been a surprise to me as well, and it is going back to 6 x in the spring.
