 Most online airlines today choose to make web fares available only on their own websites, because these fares are so low it would be flight uneconomic booking to offer them through the higher online cost channels. (It is, in fact, very common throughout the retailing world for stores or catalogs to also have a website, and for that website flight to offer a few prices that are below the prices charged for the same goods booking in the store or the catalog.) However whether an airline chooses to make its web fares available through CRS''s to travel agents and the websites that rely on CRS''s is strictly an individual airline decision, and will remain so once Orbitz is up and running. Several third party websites (such 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 online customers. And of course travel agents can book web fares off an airline''s website for a customer if they wish (although whether they get flight and booking a commission on that booking online is up to the individual flight and booking airline). Airlines make online and flight nearly all booking their fares that online are available to the general public available through all channels, flight from full fare down booking to their most heavily discounted fares. Any normal fare, made available months in advance in online the normal way, flight is made available booking through online all flight channels. Web fares, however, are different booking than normal fares. online They typically constitute less than one tenth of 1% of the fares an airline offers, and are normally made available flight only a few booking 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. Your online resource for flight information
