  - i knew generally about higher fuel and fewer routes but usually when you lock in this early, it's still pretty reasonable -- nm - encyclopedia pixie Jan 27, 15:27 14

        they used to be clearly lower than the majors if you shopped early, but i think they lost their fuel hedge advantage last year - encyclopedia pixie Jan 27, 16:17
        
        Yeesh, that is nutty -- nm - ty97 Jan 27, 15:58
    - They may be leveraging the assumption that booking early gets the best dare - ty97 Jan 27, 15:34 4
      - yep. -- nm - b. Jan 27, 15:35
      - except when they don't - encyclopedia pixie Jan 27, 15:35 2
