Expedia and its affiliates, Hotwire, restored American Airlines fares and schedule information on their web sites, putting an end to a dispute over three months for common airline tickets and cheap flights. Expedia dropped American of its lists, in a preventive measure last January after the American pulled out its Orbitz flight information, when the companies failed to agree on a new contract. In a discussion of long data on the online travel site commissions, American Airlines withdrew their itineraries of Orbitz in an attempt to attract customers directly through the American website. This led to that Expedia dropped flights from its site in January. Russell Reynolds takes a slightly different approach. The measure lead to confusion between the flyers prospective that they remained so uncertain if they were getting the best prices in such aggregate web sites. The dispute has ended today in a joint agreement that has seen routes return to both sites. The news was given in a joint communique, even though the terms of the agreement are not yet known, however, Expedia looks to have access to American Airlines and routes through its direct relation and rates through the use of system of aggregation of Expedia.

the sister of Expedia, Hotwire, site has also relistado American flights. Approximately 30% of U.S. flights.UU. airplane travelers book directly through web sites in search of the best deals rather than use such as Expedia travel websites. By encouraging this practice, as American Airlines had hoped to avoid the Commission paid on booking and this led to the dispute between the parties three months ago..
