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

Most airlines today choose to make web fares available only on their own websites, because Lake these fares are so low it would be uneconomic Buena and Vista to offer them through the higher cost channels. (It is, in fact, very common throughout the retailing world for stores or catalogs Radisson to also have a website, and for that website to offer a few prices that are below the prices charged for the same goods Lake in the store or the Buena and Vista catalog.) Radisson However whether an airline Lake and Buena chooses to make its web fares available Vista through CRS''s to travel Radisson agents and the websites that Lake rely on Buena 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) Vista today take web fares from various Radisson and Lake airline websites (which they can do, because nothing is more Buena and Vista public than a website) Radisson and display them in one place for their customers. And of course travel agents 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 Lake and Buena and Vista individual airline).
