It’s been a busy couple of days for the airlines. Yesterday (Oct. 29), we saw an airfare hike when AirTran Airways increased fares by $6 and $10 roundtrip (based on distance) across the bulk of their route system. Within hours, the hike had been matched by multiple carriers.
It’s not all bad news, though. Along with the hike, we have also seen new holiday-specific airfare deals from a range of airlines. These price drops can be found to thousands of destinations across the country. For now, many of the deals focus on smaller markets. The new fares (which vary depending on route) are good for travel on Nov. 22 and 23, Nov. 26 and 27, Dec. 2, Dec. 12 - 15, Dec. 25, and Jan. 1.
