That is partly because airlines, including those in bankruptcy protection, have cut domestic schedules and capacity, said Prashanth Kuchibhotla, the senior manager for air procurement for eClipse Advisers, an American Express subsidiary. Another trend, he said, is that business travelers are seeing some changes in policy as corporate travel departments - reacting to a simplification in fare structures begun by Delta Air Lines and matched by major rivals early this year - are allowing more use of unrestricted, fully refundable tickets...
