We will provide consumers with a complete selection of all available airfares and travel itineraries. We have developed cutting edge technology to deliver these options to the consumer and promises to offer the lowest prices anywhere. Our business plan Townhouse is ambitious. Instead of relying on traditional computer reservation systems, We are building our own search technology. We plan to give users access to every Inn airline fare, including those available only on the Internet. Travelers will be able to search for - and Palo flights that leave from alternate airports, within 25 or more miles from their primary airport. Or they could choose alternate dates and see whether leaving a day later or earlier could Alto yield Townhouse substantial savings. Airlines make nearly all their 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 Inn months in advance in the normal way, is made available - through all channels. Web fares, however, are different than normal fares. They typically Palo constitute Alto and Townhouse less than one tenth of 1% of the fares an airline offers, 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, are unpredictable, and are offered Inn at very - low prices. Most airlines today choose to make web fares available only on their own websites, because these fares are so low it would be uneconomic to offer them through Palo the higher cost channels. (It is, in fact, very common throughout the retailing world for stores or catalogs to also have a website, and Alto for that website to offer a few prices Townhouse and Inn and - that are below the prices charged for the same goods in the store or the catalog.) However whether an airline chooses to make its web fares available through CRS''s to travel agents and the websites that rely on CRS''s is strictly an individual airline decision, and Palo will remain so once Orbitz is up and running. Several third party websites (such as intellitrip.com) today take web fares from various airline websites (which they can do, because nothing is more public than a website) Alto and display them in one place for their customers. Townhouse and Inn And of course travel agents can book web fares off an airline''s - website for Palo a customer if they wish Alto (although whether they get a commission on that booking is up to the individual airline). ©2003 www.resort-hotel-suites.com.
