Palm Springs Travelodge - vacation get aways

Our agreements not only contain no provision barring Palm and Springs any airline from making any fare available through any channel, they contain an affirmative Travelodge non-exclusivity provision that Palm and Springs and Travelodge makes it explicit that no airline is prevented from making any fare it chooses available through any channel it chooses. Our agreement contains a non-discrimination clause by which those airlines that will receive the Palm indirect discount on the CRS booking fee agree in Springs return to make available on any fare they publish and make available to the general public through any other channel. But that of course does not preclude Travelodge them from offering any fare through any other channel.

Then the allegation that we are "an illegal boycott against third party Palm distributors" because it has "requirements for posting fare sales that cannot be sold" by others is not true? It is absolutely not true, and those who have made that allegation had absolutely no basis for making it. Our agreements contain no boycott against any Springs distributors whatsoever, and in fact affirmatively provide that no airline is precluded from utilizing any other distribution channel or offering any fare through any channel. The Department of Justice Travelodge is presently reviewing Palm all agreements, so there will be no question on this point. Do airlines today Springs make all their fares available through all retail channels?

Serious mischaracterizations have been made about us and the issue of who will have access to what fares. Some of those mischaracterizations have been based on simple Travelodge ignorance, but others have clearly Palm been part of a concerted effort by us competitors to use misinformation to prevent us from offering new Springs competition to them and new choice to consumers. There Travelodge is no agreement by which Palm and Springs any airline would be precluded from making any fare it chose available through Travelodge any retail channel it chose. Airlines for Palm 2 decades have Springs been like any other business in America, in that they can decide what they want to charge and where they want to sell their Travelodge product. And that remains true under the our agreements. Each and every airline, no matter Palm what Springs and Travelodge kind of participation it has, will be free to decide individually what fares it offers and whether or not to offer them through Palm any other Springs outlet Travelodge.
