Well I guess the honeymoon period is over.

VX's first class fare seems to have increased dramatically during the past week. I was checking some flights for September and October between LAX and JFK oneway. Most flights are showing $1074 oneway... with a few $900 and $800 fares in between. I even check October and November. Some of the flights going via San Francisco are $824. But the fares seem to have increased dramatically from the past...

I guess the fuel surcharge is creating some pressure. For me, it means more Y flights.

Not sure if increasing first class fare dramatically is the way to go though?

Any comments!
