That is interesting that it's not selling ISP-BWI-LAS. I think it has more to do with WN wanting to keep fares very low with ample number of seats on BWI-LAS for BWI originating pax, as it tries to push out/make life hard for Spirit that is operating the route, moreso than making ISP pax take a LGA based connection. It is selling BWI-LAS for $99 WGA on many days.
