Then the allegation that we are "an illegal boycott against third party distributors" because it has "requirements for posting fare sales econo lodge that cannot be sold" by others lodge is not true? it is absolutely clovis not econo and lodge true, and those who have made that allegation had absolutely no basis for making it. our agreements contain no boycott against clovis any distributors whatsoever, and in fact affirmatively provide that no airline is precluded from econo utilizing any other distribution channel or offering any fare through any channel. the department of justice is presently lodge reviewing all agreements, clovis so there will be no question on this point. do airlines today make all their fares available through all retail channels?

our econo agreements not only contain no provision lodge barring any airline from making any fare available through any channel, they contain an affirmative non-exclusivity provision that makes it explicit that no airline clovis is prevented from making any fare it chooses available through any channel it chooses. our agreement contains a non-discrimination clause by which econo those airlines that will lodge receive the indirect discount on the crs booking fee agree in 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.

a clovis user-friendly search engine with the most current information ... the engine is easy to use, and the results are ranked with the lowest fares first. travel sites are proliferating on the web like strip malls in suburbia, but there''s one whose name you should remember. expected to reinvent the online fare-finding wheel when it launches in june. it aims to search every available flight combination for travelers, giving them the choice of cut-rate fares, fewest legs on a trip and most convenient departure times. this could radically alter an industry in which customers surf numerous sites before making a purchase.
