By the time all these extra fees are taken into account, it was closer to $200 for the one-way flight so I just ended up booking with Southwest for roughly the same price and at least knowing the seats aren't packed in like sardines and the service is relatively decent.
That was a good trick, because you can't choose your seat on Southwest Airlines, until your flight departs AFTER January 27, 2026.

If you chose your seat, you didn't fly on Southwest.
