As a reference point, CO premerger EWR-HNL BizFirst was either 70k or 100k RT, I can't remember. Now it looks to be 225k+.
In theory, if you find a saver ticket, it is still 100K RT EWR-HNL RT - you just won't find it

Most days, it is 190K RT

High peak days can go well beyond 225K with dynamic pricing
