RE: UKNM: Airlines

[Colborne, Giles]

I read something about this on Wired's news digest last week. As I recall,

several US airlines are offering preferential pricing to customers who book

over the Web direct with the airline. The trend seems to be a way of cutting

out travel agents, rather than offloading inventory. Hence the grumpy quote

from the travel agent in the article you referenced!

I love the smell of disintermediation in the morning.
