NEW YORK, Sept 4 (Reuters) - Southwest Airlines Co (LUV.N: Quote, Profile, Research), the leading U.S. low-cost carrier, on Tuesday said it raised one-way fares by up to $10 to offset high fuel costs.
Fares on flights of over 1,250 miles were increased $10 each way effective Aug. 31, while tickets on select short- and medium-haul routes were raised by $1, $3, and $5 each way, company spokeswoman Beth Harbin said.
