(it is, in fact, very common lodge 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.) salem however whether an airline chooses to make its web fares 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 econo from various airline websites (which they can do, because nothing is more public than a website) and display them in one place for their customers. and of course travel agents can book web lodge 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).
