American Airlines and United Airlines have raised some domestic fares by as much as $5 each way, even as jet fuel prices this year have fallen sharply.
UAL Corp. unit United’s $5 each-way increase covered all markets, except where it competes with Southwest Airlines Corp.
American, a unit of AMR Corp., raised fares the same day by $3 to $5 each way, based on the length of the flight. American said fare hikes were only on routes that competed with discount carriers.
