1248 ET - Travelers waiting to book their flights day-of are dealing with fare increases at more airlines than those booking three weeks out, according to a pricing analysis by Deutsche Bank. Walk-up fares last Friday were higher week-over-week at every major airline except Delta, the analysis shows. JetBlue's one-way tickets were 15% compared with fares the week earlier, while American flights were up 12% and Allegiant flights were almost 14% pricier, according to the analysts. Tickets for domestic flights bought three weeks ahead of time were more mixed. JetBlue prices were 17% lower than the week before, and Allegiant and Hawaiian were lower too, the analysts shows. Delta's advance purchase flights meanwhile were 19% higher, as were American's, the analysts say. (dean.seal@wsj.com)
