Spirit, btw, now seems to only have really cheap fares on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
I agree. Those are pretty good fares. Frontier may dip to somewhere around the low 100s. It may go to 90 or below but that'd be a fare Frontier is making money on likely. For the pax, that's before seat selection and bag selection as well.
The Southwest BWI fares do rise though. ILG may start off high but dip low and settling somewhere significantly less than BWI around walk-up fare period.
Anyone know how Spirit is doing in PHL? While it doesn't do any Florida from PHL, it does DFW and LAS primarily, and US and Southwest is matching them (WN with one-stops to DAL) that I can't see the benefit of flying with Spirit given the better carriers. Southwest's new schedule of MDW-DAL and ATL-DAL opens up more DAL one-stops and connections as well.
