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 bayviewplazawaterfrontresort higher 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 to offer a few prices that are below the prices charged for the same goods bayviewplazawaterfrontresort in the store or the catalog.) However bayviewplazawaterfrontresort whether an airline chooses to make its web fares available through bayviewplazawaterfrontresort 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 bayviewplazawaterfrontresort one place for their 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 a commission on that booking is up to the individual airline).
