Airlines make nearly all their econo lodge fares that are available to the general public available through all channels, from full fare down to their most heavily discounted fares. any normal fare, made available months in advance in the normal way, is made available lodge through all channels. web fares, however, are different than normal fares. they typically constitute less than one tenth of 1% of the fares an airline offers, vernon and are normally made available only a few days before flight time, and only on flights which have an unusually high number of empty seats. web fares thus are seldom available, econo are unpredictable, and are offered at very low lodge prices.

a user-friendly search engine with the most current information ... the vernon 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 econo online fare-finding wheel when it launches in june. it aims to search every available flight combination for travelers, giving them the choice lodge of cut-rate fares, fewest legs on a trip and most convenient departure times. this could radically alter an industry vernon in which customers surf numerous econo and lodge sites before making a purchase.

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