United and Continental are raising airfares on many U.S. routes by up to $20 per round trip ticket. They're blaming higher fuel prices. KCCI reports fares went up $3 each way on flights longer than 500 miles, and $10 each way for first-class tickets. U.S. carriers have hiked prices more than 6 times this year. United Continental Holdings fuel bill rose $560 million, or 26% since this time last year.
