Expedia will fight to the finish.
These folks aren't backing out. Name-your-own-price scheme but with the help of their price finder. Customers don't have to jump back and forth.
Expedia beats PCLN. This is what analysts are looking for a company. A heads-up non-complacent proactive approach to serving their customers.
Exepedia has the brightest and smartest marketing people in the business.
``Expedia.com empowers the consumer by allowing them to go to one site to get it all,' said Richard Barton, president and CEO of Expedia, Inc. ``The addition of Flight Price Matcher to our suite of booking services continues the focus Expedia.com has on providing the best set of tailor-made travel choices for our customers.'
For example, before using Flight Price Matcher, customers can check the lowest published fares and current going rates on fares with Expedia.com services such as the new Fare Calendar or Fare Compare before submitting a request. Additionally, after a consumer submits a Flight Price Matcher request, Expedia.com simultaneously searches for available published fares. If, at that time, a published fare is available below their requested amount, customers will be able to get that lower fare instead, giving them the comfort they'll get a great deal when using Flight Price Matcher. Most importantly, customers can rest assured their Flight Price Matcher requests will be matched with name brand air carriers including American Airlines and US Airways.
Along with consumers, airlines will also gain substantially from Flight Price Matcher. This new service creates a complimentary distribution channel that affords airlines the ability to reach out to a more price sensitive audience and to be able to sell seats that might otherwise have gone unsold.
``American Airlines is pleased to participate in the Expedia.com Flight Price Matcher,' said Mike Gunn, American Airline's senior vice president of marketing. ``Our relationship with Expedia.com will add an important new distribution channel for price sensitive customers who are willing to be flexible.' messages.yahoo.com |
