Air tickets on many busy domestic routes have been raised to the full fare as a result of rising fuel costs, today's Youth Daily reported.
Except for early morning or late night flights which are eligible for a 10-percent discount, nearly all other flights leaving the city's Hongqiao International Airport are offering no discounts. 
In the city's other airport, Pudong International Airport, flights leaving this morning to Beijing were also selling at full price of 1,130 yuan (US$137), compared with a usual 30 percent discount.
This is a sharp contrast from one month ago, when flights from Shanghai to Beijing and other key cities such as Chengdu and Harbin were just 25 percent of the full price.  At that time, the airlines hoped to attract more passengers after the Spring Festival travel peak in February.
Ticket offices cited by the Youth Daily blamed rising fuel costs for the increases, particularly on the mid-to-long-range routes which usually take up to two hours.
Long distancel routes are not yet involved in the price rises, they noted, and flights to some remote areas are still offered at discounts of up to 40 percent.
