Online Travel Aerial Warfare Update: American Sues Sabre

2011-01-11 by Phil Butler

American Airlines ticket sales

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?
