For the 2nd time in the last 2 weeks, 5th time total this year alone, airlines have raised their fares to the tune of $10 per round trip. United, US Airways, Delta, Continental and American all instituted the increase. Often, these small hikes get rolled back shortly after they get rolled out, but now that all the majors instituted it, consider it set in stone. As well, most airlines showed a 3rd quarter loss in earnings, despite all of the endless fees we pay, further proof the hike will likely stay.
