Airlines Rush To Raise Fares As Taxes Expire

Not wasting one moment, American and USAirways among others, raised their fares to offset the expected savings that travelers should realize when Congress failed to pass legislation to keep the FAA running.

At 12:01 on July 23, airlines were not required to collect taxes, and so to avoid "confusion" and "inconvenience", some airlines raised their fares effectively wiping out any break for the traveler.
