Can I get ‘bargain’ for a plane ticket at the airport?

I am a student in Dallas and live about 300 miles from home in Houston. It’s a long drive, but not long enough such that flights are really a cost-effective option at >$200 roundtrip. Because I don’t know what weekends I can or want to go home, it’s difficult to book early for a cheaper price. I’ve noticed that Southwest Airlines still has “Business” fares available up to an hour before the flight. I live really close to the airport so it’s not a hassle and it’s not mandatory that I fly on that day or at that time even.

Because I have that flexibility, is it possible to go the airport and ask for a discount on a last-minute ticket? If it is, who should I talk to and what should I say?
