Low-cost no more? Southwest jacks prices by up to $10 each way

Southwest is trying to offset $600 million in additional fuel costs this year by raising its prices. Not surprisingly, seven other airlines have followed suit.

Those would be Continental,

Northwest

, US Airways, Delta, American, and United, which along with Southwest have added up to $10 each way on flights. According to a

report

from Airwise.com, Alaska Airlines has also raised prices but claims it's not a "direct match" of Southwest's move.

This is Southwest's

second price increase of the year

, but the first to break through the magic $299 cap the airline had placed on all one-way fares since 2002.
