We now have 2 threads on the same topic. Basically there are some routes where WN did not release cheap WGA seats when the schedule opened for peak travel days. They did not all instantly sell out at 7am like a Taylor Swift Concert. I saw nothing to/from Mexico around Thanksgiving and I'm sure Xmas is the same. WN plans to gouge you as much as UA, AA, DL if they can.
However there is a way to get revenge. Simply book full fare refundable tix and then cancel when fares drop.
