Our agreements not only contain no provision barring any airline from making any fare available through any channel, they contain an affirmative non-exclusivity provision that makes it explicit that no airline is prevented from making any fare it chooses available through any channel it chooses. Our agreement contains a non-discrimination clause by which those airlines that will 1 receive the indirect discount on the CRS booking fee agree in return to make available on any fare they star publish and make available to the general public through any other hotel channel. But that of course 1 does not preclude star them from offering any fare through any other channel.

Most customers most of the time will find lower fares, not because of web fares, and not because hotel and 1 we star 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 hotel of searching the fares everyone 1 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 star far bigger hotel and 1 searches, using search software that that was independently developed and is designed to search all fare and schedule possibilities comprehensively and without bias, and in telecommunications capacity that will provide absolutely the most current star 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 hotel possibilities that are 1 available to all channels.

A star user-friendly search hotel engine with the most current information ... the engine is easy to use, and the results are ranked with the lowest fares first. Travel 1 sites are proliferating on the Web like strip star malls in suburbia, but there''s one whose name you should remember. Expected to reinvent the online fare-finding wheel when it launches in June. It hotel aims to search every available flight combination for travelers, giving them the choice of cut-rate fares, fewest 1 and star legs on a trip and most convenient departure hotel times. This could radically alter 1 an industry in which customers surf numerous sites before star making a purchase hotel.
