US Airways parts company with Expedia
US Airways removed its listings from Expedia after the site started charging its customers a $3.99 increase or $8.99 for each listing during the Thanksgiving holiday, reported USA Today. The price put US Airways at a price disadvantage against other airlines who were paying $5 to book a flight. The newspaper quoted Expedia and US Airways officials as saying the higher charge related to unsettled issues in a new contract to replace the one that expired in June. Negotiations are continuing. Business Travel News reported that Expedia Corporate Travel clients can continue booking US Airways through a special services desk, and that all fees associated with those agent-assisted transactions currently are being waived. Pittsburgh travel writer Anita Durham-Potter pointed out that Northwest had similar issues with Expedia. “It appears online booking engines and their suppliers are becoming more and more like adversaries these days,” she commented on her website, AnitaVacation.com. “We have not heard the last of this, folks.”
