NEW YORK (AP) -- Three of the nation's largest airlines have raised the price of round-trip fares for leisure travelers by $20 less than a week after the Memorial Day holiday, the official beginning of the summer travel season.
Continental Airlines initiated the fare increase late Thursday and Delta Air Lines and American Airlines matched it on Friday.
The change, which applies to advance-purchase tickets requiring a Saturday night stay, resembles a fare hike that was announced by several carriers in April, but which was dropped once it became clear that the rest of the industry would not go along.
