With all of the fare changes today, the carriers were able to get a bump up in the index which is now at 441.

systems are not designed to track fuel surcharges […]
Just saw in BTN that Southwest has agreed to distribute through Galileo. Not too many details at this point. Here’s the BTN story.

night.

The spreadsheet shows walk-up fares that have increased by $10

In an unusual twist Continental Airlines started it’s own round of $5 one-way increases in tonight’s update. This comes on the heels of its pull back in the 12:30 update earlier today.
