Phil Butler

The online airfare wars escalate as American files suit against Sabre in an attempt to force American’s “direct connect” initiative.

Who will take American’s side is the burning question of the day?

Getting There and Carried Away Airlines

Phil Butler

The recent war between online travel agents and major airlines heats up still more. But for the travel consumer, how will all this soap opera posturing effect prices and value? The answer is fairly simple, prices will go up, and services will go down. The trend to cut everything from jet fuel to aspirin is in place, and only a paradigm shift can alter that. Comparison pricing is the only consumer weapon for value. Expedia, Google, American Airlines, the customer, what is best for business only the customer can say.

The airline neglects to point out an email marketing initiative instigated simultaneously with dumping Orbitz, and the fact that ticket sales for every airline have risen these last few days. What is the customer to make of supposedly trusted travel partners when low blows are the trend?

Jungle meets the sea here, but that does not mean couples will have to sleep in a dugout or tent. Luxury accommodations are just a stone’s throw away.
