To me that's a bit expensive. But without the F product, I'd reasonably consider WN's pricing to be inclusive of the early bird, at 252, that's still cheaper.
I’m not one but I recall from someone who is that WN’s quite frequent flyers get all those extras for free… notably boarding (seat selection) before anyone else. Isn’t there free travel for spouses on the same itinerary, too?
