Then the allegation that we are "an illegal boycott against third beacon 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, and in fact affirmatively provide that no airline is hotel precluded from utilizing any other distribution channel or offering any fare through any channel. The Department of Justice is presently reviewing all agreements, so there will be no question boston on this point. Do airlines today make all their fares available through all retail channels?

Our agreements not only contain no provision barring any airline from making any fare available through any channel, they contain an affirmative beacon non-exclusivity provision that makes it explicit that no airline is prevented hotel from making any fare it chooses available through any channel it chooses. Our agreement contains a non-discrimination clause by which boston those airlines that will receive beacon the indirect discount on the CRS booking fee agree in return to make available on any fare they publish and make hotel 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.

Most customers most of the time boston will find lower fares, not because of web fares, and not because beacon we will have access to fares that other channels (CRS''s and the sites and agents that rely on them) do not have access to, but because we will do a better job of searching the fares everyone has access to. This will be because we have opted to do what the others have not, which is invest in new technology computers able to do far bigger searches, hotel using search software that that was independently developed and is designed to search boston all fare and schedule possibilities comprehensively and without bias, and beacon in telecommunications capacity that will provide absolutely the most current information on seat availability. hotel It is expected that more boston than 99% of the time that we come up with a better fare, it will not be because we had access to any fare that its competitor did not. It will be because we did a more comprehensive and unbiased search of all the fare and schedule possibilities that are available to all channels.
