UA & Spirit best (eller verst..) på ancillary revenue

Ingen store overraskelser kanskje ..

In the report released Monday by consultancy IdeaWorksCompany and travel technology company Amadeus, Delta ranked second with $2.5 billion in ancillary revenue collections last year, behind United Continental in the No. 1 spot. However, Miramar, Fla.-based Spirit Airlines ranked highest in ancillary revenue as a percentage of total revenue.

Samtidig er prisene på vei oppover ..

Over the weekend, several big airlines matched United Airlines' increase in base fares of up to $10 per round trip within the U.S. Fare watchers said it was virtually certain that the new prices would stick, resulting in the fourth fare increase this year and the first since late March.

United raised fares Friday morning by $4 to $10 per round trip depending on flight length. Over the weekend, Delta Air Lines, American Airlines, US Airways, JetBlue and Virgin America all matched the move; so had Southwest Airlines and its AirTran subsidiary on flights of at least 500 miles. Southwest carries more passengers within the U.S. than anyone and is seen as a price-setter on many routes.

"Southwest participation virtually assures the hike will stick," said Rick Seaney, CEO of FareCompare.com.
