American Airlines has raised domestic leisure fares 4 percent, its second try in a week to boost ticket prices. The nation's second-largest carrier increased prices on tickets bought seven and 21 days in advance for travel in the United States, except in markets dominated by Northwest. Northwest has blocked five attempts this year to raise fares by refusing to match competitors' increases, including last week's fare hikes by American and Delta.
