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 the higher cost channels. (it is, in fact, very common throughout the retailing world for stores or catalogs hermitage and hotel to also have a website, and for that website to offer a few prices that are below the prices charged for the same goods in the store or the catalog.) however whether an airline chooses to nashville make its web fares available tn through crs''s to travel agents and the websites that rely on crs''s is strictly hermitage an individual airline decision, and will remain hotel so once orbitz is up and running. nashville several third party websites (such tn as intellitrip.com) today take web fares from various airline websites (which they can do, because nothing is more public than a website) and display them in one place for their customers. hermitage 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 hotel up to the individual airline).
