OK, so they're more expensive at Christmas. I guess that's the specific dates and times you wanted. Were they cheaper the next day, or a different time? Southwest has never said they're going to be the cheapest all the time. So they're more expensive at Christmas. Were they cheaper at Thanksgiving and New Years?
Some random weekend I am going to FLL with wife, and flights were more expensive with SW, but I was able to use CP, so overall cheaper than buying two tickets with legacy, but still SW more expensive.
SW has done an excellent job to breed loyalists! Reaping the benefits!

I guess it depends on one's definition of low cost and cheapest. Of course its just marketing puffery...

Even with higher fares they connect people with lower fares by driving them to Spirit.
