    Delta Smacks Northwest Airlines with a $1000 Hub-Buster

    It sounds like some brilliant move carried out by a hood-wearing professional wrestler, but in actuality, a Hub-Buster is a smack-down of a different kind. A Hub-Buster is a deal that one airline puts out to specifically mess with a rival airline at that rival’s hub airport.

    This fun little practice is just another way that airlines tweak each other, but it can mean great travel deals for passengers.

    Keep reading to get a look at Delta Air Lines’ latest $1,000 Hub-Buster…

    Northwest Airlines’ major hub is located in Minneapolis. If you’re planning on flying to Minneapolis from Hartford, Connecticut on Northwest Airlines in a couple of weeks, you will pay $1,349 (including taxes and fees). But you don’t have to pay that kind of money, because Delta Air Lines swooped in with a Hub Buster airfare. You can fly on the same dates from Hartford to Minneapolis on Delta for $339 (taxes and fees included):

    On Northwest:

    On Delta:

    You never know when a little back-and-forth between the airlines is going to save you big money. Sign up for our Free Airfare Alerts and be the first to hear about Hub-Busters from your home airport.
