Of course not as accurate as you want but can give you an idea if it's wide open. And even when calling the listing number for WN they will only tell you if it has 7 or more...
That's right. Most airlines cap their fare buckets at either 7 or 9, depending on which GDS they use (i.e. Sabre, Amadeus).
