Under the agreement, airline fares must be available when they are announced.

Airline fares were up 1.5 percent after two straight months of decline.

So they had a weekend special on airline fares, $99 round trip.

The meals offered beginning today are a far cry from the usual airline fare.

Airline fares, 0.7 percent higher last month, are up 9.7 percent so far this year.

Airline fares rose by 1.5 percent, with higher fuel costs cited as a justification.

In return, the airline fares will drop by 9%.
