Update: carriers pile on fare hike

RickSeaney.com reports that the major legacy carriers have matched United’s $50 round-trip fare hike. Northwest was the last holdout. Seaney reports, “United and Continental Airlines had some partial rollbacks late in the weekend that are more than just normal competitive “pressure” — the rollbacks are much less, though, than anything that would “end” the increase — so far.” In order to beat the prices, Seaney recommends that travelers maintain flexible schedules and fly on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Saturday when possible.
