Uncharted Waters: Another Airfare Hike (Delta’s)

Filed under: Fuel Surcharges, Airfare Increases, Delta — Rick Seaney @ 5:26 pm

We are now in uncharted waters.

There has never been a time since we began closely tracking airfares back in 2002 with so many attempted airfare hikes of this frequency or magnitude. Nothing to compare it to.

Now it’s Delta’s turn — again. The carrier tried and failed with a $10 airfare hike last week, but today it’s trying with a $10 roundtrip domestic fuel surcharge.

Look for this to affect 21,000 business airfares city-pairs (without 14 day advance purchase) and 15,000 city-pairs for leisure travel.
