Newsflash on CNBC. Up to $30 each way.
These increases are coming more frequently; let's hope that most of them can stick.

Okay just kidding (I think). For everybody involved, I hope this time is different.

A much bigger percentage of them have been sticking this year than in past years.
They can also manage yield by changing bucket sizes, but these increases hit the bottom feeding $99 transcon fare customer. There is no reason why air transport should be cheaper than greyhound.
