The final response from Delta:
There is no fuel surcharge starting on Monday that they know of.
Consider the source....
As for the ticket prices, I had to pay about 600.00 each for 2 tickets on DL in August that "used to" cost me about 250. to 280.00 each. Also the article I quoted said fare surcharges for markets that *don't* have low cost carrier competitors (such as my market).
