Airfares Double, Triple, Quadruple

Summer airfares double, triple, quadruple

This week, six (American, (AMR) United, (UAUA) Delta, (DAL) Northwest, (NWA) Continental, (CAL)US Airways (LCC)) raised prices again for flights on many domestic routes where there's no non-stop competition from low-fare carriers. The result, says travel price guru Tom Parsons of BestFares.com, is that the cheapest tickets available on many routes in July are 100% to 300% higher than a year ago.

Yes and they are going to raise them again. Airlines are now looking to cancel some destinations that are not bringing a good profit. Some airlines are charging the customer more just to be able to talk to one of the agents.

I have been looking at tickets to LA but I think I am backing out. The fine print tells you even if you buy the ticket if the fuel costs goes up between now and departure(not sure about the return part) they can make you pay the extra fuel tax. So you dump couple grand for a ticket then they can randomly say oh profits are down we want another 200 per ticket and you are stuck having to pay it. Scary very scary.

The fine print is very interesting. The good thing is when you get on the plane the price is set. They will not and cannot charge you more for your return flight.
