4) the cheap fares: though this has been less frequent since WN took over. I used to fly on quite a few spontaneous trips with those two week advance fares of 70-100 bucks each way. In fact, I have stopped taking spontaneous trips that I doubt I will retain A List for 2016.
The cheap fare will be missed . I remember day-tripping ROC-BWI under $250 r/t . Now WN wants over $600+
