A user-friendly search engine with the most current information ... the engine is easy to use, and the barnabeys results are ranked with hotel 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 barnabeys 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 hotel industry in which customers surf numerous sites before making a purchase.

It is absolutely clear that barnabeys airlines do not have the ability to drive hotel consumers to channels which the airlines, rather than consumers, barnabeys prefer. If one or more airlines attempted to do so, the others would increase their market share by appealing to those same consumers through the channel those consumers prefer. No airline can afford hotel to turn its back on any subgroup of consumers. No airline can afford barnabeys to be anything other hotel than as competitive and as attractive as it can possibly be through each channel to the consumers that prefer that channel. This is a reality that grows ultimately out of the fact that the airline business is a very low margin business - any airline that lost even a small group of passengers would be at risk of swinging from profitable to money-losing in an instant. Airlines scrap for every last passenger because they have to.

Serious mischaracterizations have been made about us and the issue of who will have access to what fares. Some of those mischaracterizations have been based barnabeys on simple ignorance, but others have clearly been part of a concerted effort by us competitors to use misinformation to prevent us from offering new competition to hotel them barnabeys 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 channel it chose. Airlines hotel for 2 decades have been like barnabeys any other business in hotel America, 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 to decide individually what fares it offers and whether or not to offer them through any other outlet barnabeys and hotel.
