The nation's two largest airlines, Delta and United, have posted airfare hikes ranging from $2 each way on trips under 500 miles to $10 each way for long trips over 1,500 miles.

If the fare increases stick – already Continental, US Airways and American have matched them – the increases will be the second successful round of increases this year.

FareCompare.com   notes that Frontier Airlines announced a winter sale at the same time the majors were upping list prices – not uncommon even during a round of industry hikes.
