US Air Pulls Tickets From Expedia

US Air Pulls Tickets From Expedia 12/09/2003 01:19 PM
In the early days of internet commercialization there was all this talk about how it was going to cut out the middlemen. Then, people began to realize that middlemen often (though, certainly not always) serve a purpose in aggregating options for buyers and sellers. Now, however, some industries are beginning to rebel against the more successful middlemen. Already we've seen hotels< /a> try to take back inventory control from travel booking websites, and now, it looks like more and more airlines are doing the same. US Air has now announced that they're pulling their flights off Expedia after Expedia started charging a higher booking fee on US Air flights. In this case, it might just be a contract dispute like last year when Northwest Airlines briefly pulled themselves off Expedia and Travelocity. However, the airlines may be pushing for a bit more control themselves. Most of the major airlines have continued to struggle in the recent past, while "discount" airlines like JetBlue and Southwest have thrived. Some people at the top of the other airlines must also be noticing that JetBlue and Southwest don't offer their fares on Expedia or the other travel sites, but concentrate on selling tickets directly from their own websites. If that trend continues, it could pull the power away from the travel aggregators and move it more to the airlines themselves. It could also mean that travel search engines like Qixo become more popular than travel aggregators like Expedia.

Holiday Inn Pulls Out Of Expedia,

Holiday Inn Pulls Out Of Expedia,
Hotels.com 08/17/2004 03:23 PM
Well, the battle is clearly on between hotels and the online travel booking sites. Initially, hotels complete ly underestimated the power of online booking sites, assuming they would just be used by discount shoppers. The hotels handed off their lowest priced inventory to them, assuming they'd still make money from expensive business travelers. They never expected those business travelers to figure out how to use the web themselves. Late last year, the hotels started fighting back, reservi ng the cheapest rooms for their own websites. Now, InterContinental Hotels Group, owners of Holiday Inn, Crowne Plaza and a variety of other well known hotels has decided they're pulling their inventory from Expedia and Hotels.com completely. While individual franchisees do have some ability to work with whatever channels they want, InterContinental said they're making it clear that their franchisees need to follow this policy as part of "brand standards." InterContinental claims the reason for pulling out of Expedia and Hotels.com is a failure to meet the "certification" process they've laid out, but it really just means they want more control over their own inventory. The real question is what real impact this will have on those hotels. How much of their sales comes via Expedia or Hotels.com, and are those users comparison shopping on other sites as well. Generally speaking, it seems like a backwards move to completely cut off a popular sales channel, but if they really believe they can do better elsewhere, then more power to them.

Diller To Show IAC Is No Travel Company
By Creating IAC's Travel Company 12/22/2004 01:16 AM
Barry Diller has done a good job buying up various online "middleman" companies in a variety of spaces from travel to social networking to dating. However, he says too many people view InterActiveCorp as a travel company and that's making it more difficult to acquire non-travel companies. So, in order to prove that he's not running a travel company... he's going to show them what it means to really run a travel company. That is, he's going to spin off all of IAC's travel properties, including Expedia, Hotwire, TravelNow and Hotels.com, into one company (which he'll still run), and keep all the other properties as IAC. While it may be a good idea to realize the value of those other properties, from the beginning Diller kept talking about the synergies of having all of these properties under the same umbrella. Apparently, those synergies only go so far when the stock price isn't as high as he had hoped.

Book: All the President's Spin

Book: All the President's Spin 08/04/2004 01:47 PM
My former Silicon Alley Reporter colleague Ben Fritz -- who's also co-founder of political-spin-debunker website Spinsanity-- has a new book out. It's a doozy.

Our first book, All the President's Spin: George W. Bush, the Media, and the Truth, goes on sale today... it offers a nonpartisan analysis of the PR-driven deception that has come to define George W. Bush's presidency, chronicling his spin on issues ranging from tax cuts to the war in Iraq. We also put Bush's presidency in perspective by tracing the history of public relations in modern presidential politics; examining how this process has culminated in a presidential campaign in which Bush and John Kerry are both engaging in deceptive PR tactics; and explaining why the media has failed to hold Bush and other politicians accountable for dishonest spin.
