P.M. BRIEFING : United Airlines to Cut Fares
United Airlines said today it will cut fares between New York, Boston and Los Angeles and other cities in the continental United States except those in Arizona, Florida and Nevada.
The fares, based on the number of miles traveled, must be bought 14 days in advance and include a Saturday night stay. Tickets must be purchased by Jan. 31 and are valid through March 6.
United said the fares are to compete with direct-mail promotions offered by other carriers that include coupons that can be redeemed for reduced fare tickets.
For flights up to 1,000 miles, round-trip fares will be $198 at peak times and $178 during off-peak times.
Between 1,000 and 2,000 miles, the fares will be $258 peak and $238 off-peak, and above 2,000 miles, fares will be $318 peak and $278 off-peak.
Peak fares apply for travel on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
