United Airlines said high fuel costs have prompted the airline to increase its change fee from $100 to $150 and to raise fares that don’t include Saturday-night stays. United is implementing a Saturday-night-stay rule for about 65% of its routes, predominantly in markets where United competes with other hub-and-spoke carriers. The rule mainly affects business travelers, who usually don’t spend the weekend at their destination. (www.TravelTrade.com)
