| Are
Internet and Web Fares Really Cheaper? |

| Despite statements made by Orbitz, Expedia and Travelocity about the money they claim to be able to save you, can they really do so? Before deciding, please consider the following: |
| |
Can any of these sites
- Really guarantee
the lowest possible ticket prices (and prove it with an unbiased neutral
3rd party report)?
- Enforce your corporate travel policy?
- Provide depth and meaningful travel reporting to a company to help it
to further lower future travel spend?
- Really meet your specific needs as a “one-size-fits-all” booking tool?
- Continue to service you without major problems while it relies on financially
distressed airlines for backing?
- Guarantee they will not deluge your employees’ e-mail boxes and desktop
computer screens with unsolicited marketing messages and pop-up
ads even though it is one of the Internet’s biggest sources of these
nuisances and employee productivity-killers?
- Really ultimately be more cost-effective in total than an agency’s corporate
travel solution once all costs are factored in?
We don’t think so. |
