to $300 for economy passengers and $450 for business- and first-class passengers. The fees apply to "transatlantic travel originating in the U.S., Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Canada and Mexico," according to Delta. In both cases, Delta's fees increased $50. The carriers also raised cancellation fees by $100 to $350 for coach customers and $500 for business- and first-class customers. The four airlines have antitrust immunity, allowing them to coordinate on pricing and fees. Delta separately raised transpacific change fees originating in North America by $50 to $300 for coach passengers and $450 for business- and first-class customers. The hikes exclude destinations in Australia and New Zealand. The move follows a
flurry of recent change-fee hikes adopted by major U.S. airlines.
