  • Meeting #13 10 Sep 2019 Disclaimer
    Meeting #13 10 Sep 2019 Disclaimer The purpose of this meeting is to discuss the coding and processing of airfare-related data by the airline industry, to make the distribution and interpretation of airfare-related data more efficient. It is important that participants conduct themselves in a manner consistent with this conference’s industry- wide, pro-competitive mission. Because some, if not all, participants represent companies that compete with one another, we must be careful not to engage in conduct that could be deemed a violation of the antitrust laws. Accordingly, this meeting will not discuss or take action to develop fares or charges, nor will it discuss or act on remuneration levels of any intermediaries engaged in the sale of passenger air transportation. This meeting also has no authority to discuss or reach agreement on the allocation of markets, the division or sharing of traffic or revenues, or the number of flights or capacity to be offered in any market. Participants are cautioned that any discussion regarding such matters, or concerning any other competitively sensitive topics outside the scope of the agenda, either on the floor or off, is strictly prohibited. Discussing or reaching any agreement related to these topics could expose meeting participants to liability under the U.S. antitrust laws as well as liability under the competition laws of other jurisdictions around the world.

  • Long Haul Branded Fares & Basic Economy on Non-North Atlantic Routes
    Long Haul Branded Fares & Basic Economy on non-north Atlantic routes Following the announcement that we will be introducing a new long haul Basic Economy fare on our routes in partnership with our Atlantic Joint Business (AJB) partners, British Airways and Iberia would like to announce that this new fare will also be offered on selected non-north Atlantic (NATL) routes. The new fares support our focus on customers; offering customers more choice and a new price point with the ability to personalise their trip with ancillary products based on their travel needs. Customers purchasing Basic fares will enjoy the same great service in our World Traveller (Economy) cabin as those travelling on a Standard Economy fare, with new and improved in-flight meals, a range of in-flight entertainment and complimentary headphones and blankets. The new fares also include our generous hand baggage allowance and allocated seating. Branded Fares will be used to file the new long haul Basic Economy fare. This enables two fare products to be filed in the same booking class. British Airways long haul fare branding is currently available on Europe to US routes. Iberia fare branding is currently available on short and medium haul routes. To support our technical introduction of the new fare type: ° From 19th March, British Airways long haul fare branding will also be available on routes from UK-Middle East and UK-Asia. British Airways and Iberia fare branding will also become available on other long-haul markets over the coming months ° A new “Basic Economy” fare brand will go live during April in the selected markets where the fare is filed ° At launch, Basic Economy fares will always display as the lowest available fare on those routes ° To upsell to fares inclusive of checked baggage, you will need to use the upsell product brand codes.

Mead Reply to Attn. of: JA-50 Inspector General To: The Secretary The Deputy Secretary This report presents the results of our review of the Department of Transportation (Department) Study of Air Travel Services. On June 27, 2002, the Office of Aviation and International Affairs issued a report to Congress on its efforts to monitor air travel services related to Orbitz. The Office of Inspector General (OIG) was directed by the House and Senate Transportation Appropriations Subcommittees in the Conference Committee Report on the DOT Appropriations bill for Fiscal Year (FY) 20021 to evaluate and comment on the Department’s findings. We have reviewed the Department’s report and evaluated the reasonableness and accuracy of the Department’s analysis and conclusions. We selectively verified data cited in the report to the information submitted to the Department by Orbitz’ airline-owners, Charter and non-Charter Associates,2 Global Distribution Systems (GDSs), and online travel agencies. In addition, we held discussions with and reviewed supplemental data submitted by online and brick-and-mortar travel agencies, Department officials, GDSs, and large and small carriers. We also conducted tests of online travel agencies to determine the validity of some of the claims Orbitz’ critics have made.

  • Travel Agents Access to Airline Fares
    TRAVEL AGENTS ACCESS TO AIRLINE FARES A Research Report Prepared for the National Commission to Ensure Consumer Information and Choice in the Airline Industry Prepared by TRANSPORTATION GROUP INTERNATIONAL, LC July 30, 2002 Bruce Cunningham Managing Director 281-367-0111 281-363-2638 Fax [email protected] Travel Agents Access to Airline Fares 1. OVERVIEW OF THE SITUATION Travel agents provide their customers with information and advice, make reservations, provide tickets, and other ancillary services. Their services include making reservations on airlines, hotels, car rentals, cruises, tours and other events. Travel agents make approximately 70% of all airline reservations. This report focuses on the agent’s relationship with airlines and the fares airlines display in automated systems. Airline fares often confuse and frustrate customers and travel agents. The price for a seat paid by one individual may be ten times more than that paid by the person next to him. This is primarily the result of two factors: o Airline seats are extremely perishable; when the aircraft door closes, an empty seat is lost forever. Any revenue the airline receives for what would be an empty seat, that offsets the direct cost of carrying an additional passenger, will add to profitability. When empty seats are expected on a future flight, as determined by their revenue management system, an airline may price them very low. o Airlines sell a commodity product in the coach cabin of the aircraft. Pricing is based on the price sensitivities of different types of prospective passengers. The differentiation is given form by governing rules, such as an advance purchase and duration of stay requirements.
