Airlines are charging solo passengers higher fares than groups
It's not just Delta. The country's three largest airlines are charging some solo travelers higher fares than groups of two or more.
And while it's unclear how long this pricing tactic has been utilized, it doesn't really matter: Whether it's been just days, months, or even years, it's something that few everyday travelers may realize is happening … or how much it might be costing them.

United spells it all out in the fare rules for these cheaper tickets, which are publicly accessible using an advanced airfare search engine like ITA Matrix.
