W is available on the 6am flight through IAH. The 1142am lowest is M and via EWR lowest is H. For the afternoon, more of the same higher fare buckets. Just in time for a few cruise ships to get back in.
Plus the most important part, departure (on the $69 base fare ) must be on Tuesday, Wednesday or Saturday.
