Airlines Try $10+ Fare Hikes Again
The major airlines got their shit together and are attempting another price raise.
American: +$10
Continental: Soon
Delta: +$10
Northwest: Considering
US Airways: Soon
United: +$50
Unlike last week’s abortive fare hike, industry analysts say this hike is likely to stick. This time, the larger carriers will not raise fares on routes where they compete directly with low-cost carriers.
