In what seems to be a mistake in airfare filing, United Airlines has rolled back their fuel surcharge (the majority of those surcharges tacked on an extra $130 to the price of an airline ticket) in close to 28,000 markets. If this is a mistake, it will most likely be corrected at 8:00 PM tonight, so there’s not much time to take advantage.

This afternoon, United Airlines standardized a $50 per Round-Trip fuel surcharge on the majority of its domestic route system, so be prepared to shell out some extra money for those United tickets.

UPDATE: DELTA HAS MATCHED THE INCREASE

In the three years that FareCompare has been tracking airfares, we have not seen an increase on this scale.

When we asked why United made the decision to put the unprecedented increase into effect at this time, Robin Urbanski, a spokesperson for United, said, “Increases in the cost of fuel continue to be unprecedented.”

Over the weekend,more airlines will have a chance to match this increase, which follows a previous increase that United initiated on January 3rd.
