United Airlines has increased fares on most domestic flights by $10 in a bid to battle rising fuel costs.

A spokesperson for the carrier confirmed last Friday (February 22) that passengers on flights to several cities in the U.S. will be charged $10 more for tickets as oil prices reached record levels.

Robin Urbanski, told Reuters: “We must be able to pass commodity costs onto customers just like other industries do.”

These price increases will only apply to routes where United is not in competition with other low-cost carriers.

Ticket prices for journeys also offered by competitor Southwest Airlines will not be changed, Urbanski added.

Southwest Airlines recently added a hold luggage charge on its flights as a means of avoiding an increase in ticket prices.
