Serious mischaracterizations TOWN have been made about us and the AND issue of who will have access to what fares. Some of those mischaracterizations have been based COUNTRY on simple ignorance, but others have clearly been part of a concerted effort by us RESORT competitors to use misinformation to prevent us from offering new competition to them and new choice HOTEL to consumers. There is no agreement by which any airline would be precluded from making TOWN any fare it chose AND available through any retail channel it chose. Airlines for 2 decades have been like any COUNTRY other business in America, in that they can decide what they want to charge RESORT and where they want to sell their product. HOTEL And that remains TOWN 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 AND through COUNTRY any RESORT other outlet.

Most customers most of the time will find lower fares, not because of web fares, and not because we will have access to fares that other channels (CRS''s and the sites HOTEL and TOWN and agents that rely on them) do not have AND access to, but because we will do a better job of searching the fares COUNTRY everyone has access to. This will be because we have opted to do what the others have not, which is RESORT invest in new technology HOTEL and TOWN computers able to do far bigger searches, using search software that that was independently developed and is designed AND to search COUNTRY all fare and schedule possibilities comprehensively RESORT and without bias, and in telecommunications HOTEL capacity TOWN that will provide absolutely AND the most current information on seat availability. It is expected that more 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 COUNTRY possibilities that are available to all channels.

Then RESORT the HOTEL allegation TOWN that we are AND "an illegal boycott against third party distributors" because it has "requirements COUNTRY for RESORT posting fare sales that cannot be sold" by HOTEL others is not true? It is absolutely not true, and those TOWN who have made that allegation had absolutely no basis for making it. Our agreements contain no boycott against any distributors AND whatsoever, and in fact affirmatively COUNTRY provide that no airline is precluded from utilizing RESORT any other distribution channel or offering any fare through any channel. The Department HOTEL and TOWN of Justice is presently reviewing all agreements, AND so there will be COUNTRY no question on this RESORT point. Do airlines today make all their fares available through all retail HOTEL channels?
