The Friedman Files

American Airlines has pulled back it’s latest $20 per ticket price increase.  That’s according to the fare watchers at FareCompare.com.  They have technology that allows them to see fare changes before they hit consumers.

Continental and Delta have also rolled back their latest increases.  Makes you wonder if demand for air travel is starting to slow down because of rising prices.  Most fare increases this year have stuck, this one did not.

United Airlines is already attempting another $20 increase.  But, Farecompare.com points out this time United is being careful not to apply that increase to markets where they compete with discount airlines like Southwest.
