Airlines hike fares for the second time this year
A fare increase of $10 per round-trip, initiated by Southwest Airlines and matched Thursday by most of its competitors, represents the second industry-wide price hike in 2012.
Southwest, the nation's largest carrier of domestic passengers, increased its round-trip fares for most of its routes starting Wednesday. By Thursday, most of the nation's major carriers had matched Southwest's price hike.
