Delta Domestic Fares Hit Nearly $600 Before Holidays (thetravel.com)

Delta Air Lines is showing a nearly $600 round-trip Basic Economy fare for the Boston-to-Atlanta route, a price one passenger called "ridiculous" and higher than his usual Christmas fares. Posting on Reddit, travelers blamed the spike on fuel price hikes tied to U.S. President Donald Trump's war with Israel in Iran, with one calling it the "new normal." Delta declined to comment after TheTravel reached out.
