ABQ-MCI fares

Need to fly ABQ-MCI one way in June and the current lowest fares on my date of travel are around $225. Seems a bit steep, but then again, I almost never fly Southwest. For those who fly that route, is that the normal lowest fare?

The low fare calendar - what used to be known as Southwest Shortcut - shows fares as low as $132 Feb - May. They haven't loaded cheapest fares for June yet.

The "Southwest Effect" also works in reverse. Nobody else has non-stops. Frontier's ABQ-DEN-MCI June one-ways are $2 cheaper.

Now that we have the companion pass and miles, we are looking to do much more travel this year on WN. Thanks for posting the "shortcut". By the way, this is also a good tool - especially if you want to find non-stop destinations > https://www.southwest.com/flight/rou...clk=SITESEARCH
