From the business point of view, now probably seems like the ideal time to slide in some price increases while few people are traveling to notice the change.

I understand Disney has done the same sort of thing, raising prices on their theme park restaurant menus while the parks are closed. I'm sure they figure almost no one will remember what the prices were before the closures (though die-hard fans have noticed the changes on the online menus).
