And for me, I can buy these tix a year ahead with impunity because there are no change fees whatsoever - a key advantage with a 19 y.o.
Completely different markets in this case and no question who wins here. I have some loyalty but not blind loyalty.

And that suits your needs. But good luck if the flights get delayed or cancel. WN can't put you on a AA/UA flight, you have to wait for the next WN flight.
