UPDATE: ALL Legacy Carriers Match Latest $60 Airfare Hike

May 25, 2008 | Posted in: Airfare Increases

Yesterday evening in the 5:00pm EDT domestic airfare distribution, Northwest Airlines matched the United initiated airfare hike of up to $60 roundtrip across the bulk of its route system.

This completes wide matching by all six legacy airlines.

American Airlines also increased what appears to be mostly Southwest overlap routes by $6 – $8 roundtrip.

United and Continental both dropped several thousand city pairs by $22 roundtrip.

I’ll have more on that later (normally when two airlines drop the same amount in the same feed it is a reaction to a low cost airline, I will soon confirm if this is the case).
