the reason for $164 fares on SW routes is not because b.f. has a deal with them, it's because they have a deal with TW, and TW usually matches the SW $198 fare, then 20% off the base fare comes to $164.

MileCrazy: Well, now I'm confused. There's several fares BestFares publishes that TW doesn't appear to fly, but Southwest does - San Jose-San Diego, San Jose-Sacramento, for example - and the BestFares price is less than Southwest's published fare. Who do you think these might be on if not Southwest?

Could be America West. It appears that in addition to TWA, bestfares also discount on some CO tickets.
