Phoenix to LaGuardia - One Way - Jan. 12, 2010

Southwest - $124+ lowest non-refundable fare, $439+ refundable, $464+ "Business Select"

Continental - $124+ lowest non-refundable fare, $660+ refundable, $1,118+ First Class

So you are right in this case that at the top of the fare structure Continental charges more however one can still buy the lowest priced non-refundable ticket for the same fare as Southwest. Southwest would like you to believe they are always cheaper but that is just not the case.
