WN starting at $49 one way
 
Look for matches maybe? Historically some have matched like UA.

Also this is not based on distance but seems to be based on select city pairs...

DEN-OMA $49 (typically closer to $99)

AA PIT-ORD $98 r/t a/i
 
AA match on PIT-ORD very limited...interesting.

This is definitely not the great WN "zone" fare of years past: most of the routes represent little to no savings. But there are a few bargains, especially on the $49 routes. I guess somebody could find a segment run worthwhile -- somewhere.

Yea, probably more 'Good Deals', but whatever, we might as well list them somewhere, no?

There are some great deals out of orf and ric, $320 rt to sjd or yvr, picked up $255 rt to sju, I don't know if wn's sale, but haven't seen prices to sjd and yvr that cheap

Yeah, they need a tier between the $49 and $99. From ATL there's only JAX at $49. The $99 might look good compared to recent fares for some places, but is a real increase in some cases from 2 years ago. So far the WN takeover of FL has been a real dud for fares ex-ATL.

This presents actually a good miles SPENDING opportunity. I booked DTW-BWI for 2475 RR points plus US$ 2.50 "terrorism tax".

The current dollar sale price would be $46.50 + $2.50. Hence, a $ now only costs about 53 points - usually, Wanna Getaway Rewards Fares cost 70 points to the Dollar.

YMMV on other routes.

PHX-LAX is being matched by US/AA for $49 each way and PHX-MSP is being matched by Delta for $109 each way

$49 to PDX from SMF on AS. Bought two tickets for November. Usually it is $79 or maybe $69 one way.

DFW-MCI $49 each way on US/AA. Route over CLT for most miles.

Same crap as usual from RDU, nothing interesting that I saw sadly.
