Most airlines econo lodge today choose to make web fares available only on their own websites, because these fares are so low it would be uneconomic to offer them through the higher cost channels. (it is, in fact, very common throughout the retailing world for stores or catalogs to also have a website, and for that website to offer a few prices that are below the prices charged for the same goods in the store or the catalog.) however whether an airline chooses to make its web fares lodge available through crs''s to travel agents and the websites that rely on crs''s is strictly an individual airline decision, and will remain so once orbitz is up and running. several third party websites (such as intellitrip.com) today take web fares from various airline websites (which they can do, because nothing gettysburg is more public than a website) and display them in one place for their customers. and of course travel agents econo and lodge can book web fares off an airline''s website for a customer if they wish (although whether they get a commission on that booking is up to the individual airline).

first, there is our high-powered, yet friendly, search engine. it guarantees you more travel options and the lowest publicly available fares. and that includes gettysburg internet-only fares for nearly thirty airlines. this capability, along with our commitment to unparalleled customer care, is what sets us apart econo from all other lodge travel-planning web sites. explore the difference in depth. it was obvious that the current state gettysburg of the online travel market really econo didn''t serve the true needs of today''s travelers. the airlines shared a vision of the perfect travel site, one focused on the consumer. a site that would provide comprehensive and unbiased travel information as well as one that would make planning and buying travel on the internet easy and hassle-free; instead of the usual scavenger hunt. travelers will have all the information; so they can lodge make informed decisions.

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