Citing Increase in Fuel Costs, Airlines Raise Fares

Fare increases targeting the business and premium travel were quietly implemented in the past few days.

Airlines have blamed the need for the increase on fuel prices. It is the good old cause and effect. Airlines are quick to respond to fuel price increases by implementing "fuel surcharges" on international flights and fare increases on domestic flights.

The opposite is not true. When fuel prices decrease, the trickle down takes much longer to reach the traveler.
