U.S. Carriers Increase Domestic Fares

U.S. carriers have matched a $6 round-trip fare hike that JetBlue initiated last week, according to FareCompare. JetBlue raised fares $3 each way on Feb. 10, and Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, Air Canada, American Airlines and WestJet each matched that increase by Feb. 13. This is the third attempted domestic fare hike by airlines this year and the second that has been successful.
