Northwest and US Airways Match Delta $20 Roundtrip Increase, Continental Last Legacy on the Sidelines

Filed under: Airfares, Airlines, Airfare Increases — Rick Seaney @ 2:58 am

Tonight in the 8:00pm EST U.S. domestic airfare distribution the FareCompare.com proprietary airfare processing system noted significant increase matching activity by Northwest Airlines, US Airways and Alaska Airlines.

Northwest Airlines significantly matched the $20 roundtrip increase (initiated by Delta late Monday) for both business airfares (those less than 14 days advance purchase) and leisure airfare in over 18,000 city pairs:

US Airways significantly matched both business and leisure airfare in over 9,000 city pairs — Alaska Airlines matched in over 200 city pairs.

This latest wave of matching by the legacy airlines of the 10th attempted increase since Labor Day has left Continental Airlines as the lone holdout not to match - I expect them to match over the next few days.
