Airlines match Continental's hike

     CHICAGO -- Northwest Airlines Corp. joined other major U.S. carriers in
raising leisure fares on U.S. flights after Continental
     Airlines Inc. increased prices because of higher jet-fuel costs.
Northwest and others matched Continental's $20 increase on
     round-trip flights of more than 500 miles and $10 on flights less than
500 miles. Most of the increases applied only to leisure tickets,
     which are bought at least seven days before travel. The major airlines
began jockeying for advantage after Continental raised its fares
     Friday.
