Serious mischaracterizations have been made about us and the issue of who will have access to what fares. Some of those mischaracterizations econo lodge have been based on simple ignorance, but others have clearly been part of a concerted lodge effort by us competitors chandler and econo to use misinformation to prevent us from offering new competition to them and new choice to consumers. there is no agreement by which any airline would be precluded from making any fare it chose available through any retail lodge channel it chose. airlines for 2 decades have been like any other business in america, chandler in that they can decide what they want to charge and where they want to sell their product. and that remains true under the our agreements. each and every airline, no matter what kind of participation it has, will be free econo to decide individually what fares it offers and whether or not to offer them through any other outlet.

our agreements not only contain no provision barring any airline from making lodge any fare available through any channel, they contain an affirmative non-exclusivity provision that makes it explicit that no airline is prevented chandler from making any fare it chooses available econo through any channel it chooses. lodge our agreement contains a non-discrimination clause by which those airlines that will receive the indirect discount on the crs booking fee agree in chandler return to make available on any fare they publish and make available to the general public through any other channel. but that of course does not preclude them from offering any fare through any other channel.
