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.

This is all a bunch of BS!!. Has their service increased to match their prices? NO Will they ever lower prices? NO. Will service, friendliness improve? NO Seems in hard times if you want more customers you lower prices! This is getting as bad as gas prices for cars. Less use and the prices go up. Go Figure. The airlines know they have travelers by the short hairs and thet`re goin to gouge us whenever and wherever they can. When they can do better with non-weather related delays, service,maybe even a lousy bag of peanuts the American public will reward them with increased usage. As for me, take your fares and put them where the sun don`t shine. When they improve, maybe the public will reward them with (SOMETHING)?
