Hudson Crossing Travel Industry Insight: December 2010

http://hudsoncrossing.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html

Wednesday, December 22, 2010. Look Beyond Orbitz/AA: Delta Pulls Inventory Off Three Other OTAs. To date, AA has been a lone wolf in this area with scant public support from any other airlines. Unlike in many other airline moves where one moves on Tuesday and the rest of the industry follows by Friday (think commission caps, bag fees, change fees etc) AA has stood alone. Delta has made it clear that they value some distribution points more than others. These three websites generate a significant amou...

http://hudsoncrossing.blogspot.com/2011/05/delta-and-usairways-try-again-in-dc-and.html

Monday, May 23, 2011. Delta and USAirways try again in DC and NY. Delta and USAirways, who previously (as we discussed here.

Announced today, DL and US will still trade a similar number of slots and cash and will open up some additional slots for new competition and destinations from both LGA and DCA.

Hudson Crossing Travel Industry Insight: November 2010

http://hudsoncrossing.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html

Monday, November 29, 2010. American Fires Back First Salvo Against Impending Virgin America DFW Invasion. American Airlines announced a new program squarely aimed at Virgin America's impending launch of flights from SFO and LAX to DFW. The usual bag of tricks. Includes double AAdvantage miles and double elite qualifying miles. Somewhat unusual is the relatively long earning period - from tomorrow all the way until the end of February. Slightly more original is the " 15 Days of Giveaways. Announced at thi...

Hudson Crossing Travel Industry Insight: DOT: LGA and DCA Slot Swap is a Go for Delta and USAirways

http://hudsoncrossing.blogspot.com/2010/02/dot-lga-and-dca-slot-swap-is-go-for.html

Tuesday, February 9, 2010. DOT: LGA and DCA Slot Swap is a Go for Delta and USAirways. The DOT has just issued. A tentative waiver that will allow USAirways and Delta Air Lines to swap their landing slots at New York LaGuardia and Reagan Washington National airports. As we discussed previously. Let the jockeying begin but we expect JetBlue, Southwest, AirTran and maybe Frontier to be at the top of requesting parties. Posted by Hudson Crossing. New York Air Market.

Hudson Crossing Travel Industry Insight: Tingo.com: Orbitz Price Assurance + Expedia Inventory = Bingo?

http://hudsoncrossing.blogspot.com/2012/03/tingocom-orbitz-price-assurance-expedia.html

Wednesday, March 21, 2012. Tingocom: Orbitz Price Assurance Expedia Inventory = Bingo? Tripadvisor launched a new online hotel booking site today: Tingo.com. Dont look for it (yet) on the Tripadvisor site however - not even as a search comparison option. Tingo takes a little bit from Expedia (hotel inventory), a little bit from Orbitz (Price Assurance) and combines them into what is pitched as a new offering where consumers "just can't lose". Similar services exist today for air - Yapta anyone? Tips from...

Hudson Crossing Travel Industry Insight: Guestmob: A New Level of Stupidity for Hoteliers?

http://hudsoncrossing.blogspot.com/2012/03/guestmob-new-level-of-stupidity-for.html

Wednesday, March 21, 2012. Guestmob: A New Level of Stupidity for Hoteliers? This morning, we saw a FB posting from a good friend about a new website, Guestmob.com. Guestmob claims to offer prices "20-50%" lower than Kayak by pitting hotels "against each other for the right to fill empty hotel rooms". Consumers enter the site and pick a destination and dates par usual, and then offered a selection of hotels grouped by star quality and neighborhood. Sound familiar to Hotwire or Priceline? Second, Guestmob...
