US airlines start quietly charging more for solo travelers

U.S. airlines have begun implementing a new pricing strategy that charges solo travelers more for flights, a practice that has been quietly rolled out by major carriers like American Airlines, Delta, and United. This shift in pricing is based on the demand for seats, with solo travelers often finding themselves paying higher fares than those traveling in groups or families. The airlines argue that this dynamic pricing model helps them maximize revenue and fill seats more efficiently.

This new approach to pricing has sparked a debate about fairness in the airline industry and whether such practices should be regulated.
