US Airways Group Inc. and American Airlines are matching a two-day fare sale launched Tuesday by rival Southwest Airlines.


Dallas-based Southwest announced it was offering $30, $60 and $90 fares for tickets bought through Wednesday. Southwest's sale includes $30 one-way fares between Phoenix and Southern California, $60 fares between Phoenix and Denver, and $90 fares from Phoenix to Florida and Chicago. The fares are for travel after Labor Day and before Thanksgiving.


Tempe-based US Airways and Dallas-based American said they would match Southwest's fares.





Tell me this isn't Southwest trying to drive a stake in the heart of LCC.
