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.
Once again...this is NOT true. They did sell out like a Taylor Swift concert. While not Mexico, I booked peak WGA fares to AUA and BZE over Christmas and Thanksgiving. They were sold out of WGA and priced nearly three times higher 12 hours later.
