Rick Seaney of put out an alert late Thursday that there's a fare increase spreading across the domestic system: "This morning in the 10am EDT domestic airfare distribution AirTran Airways increased airfares by $6 and $10 roundtrip (based on distance) across the bulk of their route system. "Shortly thereafter in the 1pm EDT domestic airfare distribution, American & Delta/Northwest matched on overlapping routes, while Continental took a further step matching on the bulk of their route system.
