Board approves fare cuts for long haul American flights
The Civil Aeronautics Board approved American Airlines day coach excursion fares offering 20 to 25 percent discounts on flights of 1,500 miles or more from Feb 1 1975 to Jan 31 1976. Discounts peak 20 percent in summer and rise to 25 percent off peak. The CAB rejected similar proposals from United, TWA and Northwest due to blackout periods and found no need for American night excursions.
