************ INFO FOR NEWBIES ***************** 800 Travel Systems (IFLY) launched a revolutionary Interactive Internet Reservation System (IRIS) at end of market Dec 31, 1998. The IRIS offers interactive live chat with a travel agent on the internet to book airline tickets. IFLY is a profitable travel company that provides air transportation reservation services for domestic and international travelers through its toll-free numbers. The Interactive Reservation Internet System (IRIS) capitalizes on various interactive Internet technologies to provide a unique and easy means for travelers to find the lowest fare available on the Internet. There are several advantages for the IRIS compared to traditional internet travel web sites, to name a few: 1) IFLY travel agents can quote lower prices than are permitted to be published over the Internet. 2) Commissions on tickets are capped at $100 as a travel agent is quoting you a price - vs $10 commission cap for computer quoted prices over the Internet. 3) The interactive chat feature with a live agent will reduce the fear of some people of shopping on the internet. 4) Transaction time (compared to telephone sales) is cut dramatically as information is entered by the customer and feeds directly into the computer system. 5) Travel agents are able to handle more than one customer at once.
