US Airways-Snacks
TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) - Fliers, let go of the pretzels and peanuts. In what could be the ultimate cost-cutting move by airlines buffeted by sky-high fuel prices, US Airways Group says it will
eliminate free snacks in coach class on all its domestic flights starting June 1st. US Airways also says it has matched last week's fare hikes by United Airlines, American Airlines and Delta Air Lines. The increases are from $10 to $60 per round trip and vary based on the length of the flight. US Airways spokesman Morgan Durrant says the move to cut free snacks was needed to save money in a time of extremely high fuel costs. The price of jet fuel has soared this year with crude oil prices in the $130-per-barrel range. The airline is still providing complimentary soft drinks.

SPAM SALES
MILWAUKEE (AP) - Spam, spam, spam, egg, and spam. Now, it's not
