This is not just an isolated case as I've been following the Mexico fares for months and they've also been higher than equivalent advance purchase fares on legacy carriers.

So I understand the traditional biz model ($29 advance purchase, $200 walkup) but WN pricing does not seem as nimble as others in filling expiring excess capacity. And I wonder how long the OAK premium (like Nashville & other WN hubs) will last...
