Village Inn - vacation get aways

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 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 Village few prices that are below the prices charged for the same goods 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 Inn individual airline decision, and will remain so once Orbitz is up and running. Several Village third party websites (such as intellitrip.com) today take web fares from various airline websites (which they can do, because nothing Inn is more public than Village a website) and display them in one place for their Inn customers. And of course travel agents can book web fares off Village an airline''s website for a customer if they wish (although whether they get Inn a commission on that booking is up to the individual airline).

Our agreements not only contain no provision barring any airline from making any fare available through any channel, they contain an affirmative non-exclusivity provision that 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 indirect discount on the CRS booking fee agree in 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 them from offering any fare through any other channel.

We will provide Village consumers Inn with a complete selection of all available airfares and travel itineraries. We have developed cutting edge technology to deliver these options to the consumer and promises to offer the lowest prices anywhere. Our business plan is ambitious. Instead of relying on traditional computer reservation systems, We are building our own search technology. We Village plan to give users access to every airline fare, including those available only on the Internet. Travelers will be able to search for flights that leave from alternate airports, within 25 or more miles from their primary airport. Or they could choose Inn alternate dates and Village see whether leaving a day later or earlier could yield Inn substantial savings.
