lwhrn you look at base price they are likeky the same. Having direct vs connection or what airport you go through can add different takes.
if an airport does a major terminal overall they will add surcharge taxes to those flying in, flying out, and those thst connect therr. They might not charge if you don’t deplane
This explains small discrepancies in points per dollar of cash fare. Large discrepancies have appeared in the distant past when Southwest was running secret promotions or tests, for example 55 points per dollar for very early and very late flights in selected markets.
