Airlines hike fuel surcharge

Wednesday, April 21, 2004 | 10:47 a.m.

DALLAS -- Continental Airlines raised a surcharge on many round-trip flights to $30 on Tuesday, citing higher fuel costs, and the move was quickly matched by American Airlines.

Houston-based Continental said the increase, from $20 per round trip, took effect immediately on most travel within the United States and Canada.

Both Continental and American raised the surcharge on one-way tickets from $10 to $15. American said the surcharge did not apply to certain sale fares, government tickets and free flights redeemed by members of frequent-flier clubs.
