United Airlines is attempting an airfare hike of up to $20 round-trip on domestic tickets. This is the carrier's second push for a fare increase this month.
Airfare tracking website FareCompare.com reported the increase Wednesday, noting the higher prices are based on distance, with shorter trips going up $4 and longer distance routes increasing by $20 round-trip.
As of Thursday, JetBlue is the only airline to match United's increase, Rick Seaney, chief executive of FareCompare.com, said.
