Southwest's fares aren't always lowest

Article Abstract:

The article discusses Southwest Airlines' fares, which are not always the lowest. A government survey of airfares and a USA TODAY fare-shopping test found this information. Southwest's expertise at marketing its Web site as the place to find low fares, and recent actions make it more difficult for consumers to compare the air carrier's fares with those of other airlines.
