Airlines make nearly all their fares that are available to the general Hotel public available through Adagio and Hotel all channels, from full fare down to their most heavily discounted Adagio fares. Any normal fare, made available months in advance in the normal way, is made available through all channels. Web fares, however, are different Hotel than normal fares. They typically constitute less than one tenth of 1% of the Adagio 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 at very low prices.

Then Hotel and Adagio the allegation that we are "an illegal boycott against third party distributors" because it has "requirements for posting fare sales that cannot Hotel 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 precluded from utilizing any other distribution channel or offering Adagio any fare through Hotel any channel. The Department of Justice is presently Adagio reviewing all agreements, so there will be no question on this point. Do airlines today make all their fares available through all retail channels?
