If the other airlines don’t go along with the hike, American and Delta may be forced to roll it back. American added up to $40 to it routes depending on length, while Delta added $20 to round trip fares. Jet fuel costs are up 15% from a year ago. Hey, one more reason not to fly Delta.—MEGHANN MARCO
