As long as I'm in palaver mode... Link with some
basic info on the Priceline issue, though I honestly have no idea whether they still work this way: http://www.sims.berkeley.edu/~hal/Articles/TheStandard/priceline.html One company that's trying to do searchable
travel aggregates, though as far as I can tell the airlines (only thing I tried) are throwing in a lot
of FUD: http://www.kayak.com/ I know a lot
of people in the restaurant biz and a few in the hotel / B + B biz, and unfortunately very few
of them intuitively «get» the advantage
of the
kind of search Doc wants.
No matter what
kind of airliner you
travel on, certain
basic items are required or suggested for domestic
travel in the United States: a paper or e-ticket is required and a
travel insurance policy or
travel medical insurance is highly suggested.
