UAL Corp.’s United Airlines said it was raising U.S. fares as much as $30 to help recoup record fuel costs, prompting two rivals to follow.

United increased round-trip fares $4 to $30, depending on the length of the flight and the low-fare competition on the route, spokesman Jeff Kovick said.

Continental Airlines Inc. and Delta Air Lines Inc. followed United’s lead, website bestfares.com said.
