Expedia Inc. has stopped selling tickets on
American Airlines flights, the latest twist in a simmering pricing dispute between
American and travel
websites.
"Expedia has chosen to no longer offer American Airlines
fares on its website," American said in an statement posted on its website. "Customers looking to compare flights or fares online should visit other travel sites such as
Kayak.com or Priceline.com for the most accurate and up-to-date information."
The
Fort Worth, Texas-based airline has said that it would like to sell more tickets through its own website, as paying to have its flights listed on sites such as Expedia can be costly. Airlines have to pay a commission every time people search a particular flight, look up a fare or book a trip.
