COLLEGE PARK | Southwest raises round-trip fares by $10 | News

ATLANTA -- Southwest Airlines, which began flights in and out of Atlanta on Feb. 12, has raised its round-trip fares by $10, and other airlines are likely to match the hike.

MSNBC reported the move is the third attempted fare hike of the year. Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines led two fare increases in January, according to the report, but competitors matched only the first one.

Other airlines are expected to follow Southwest's lead, according to the report, because every fare hike initiated by Southwest in the last six years has been matched.
