Most the mirage las vegas customers most of the time will find lower fares, not because of web fares, and not because we will have access to fares that other channels (crs''s and the sites and las agents that rely on them) do not have access to, but because we will do a better job of searching the fares everyone has access to. this will be because we have opted to do what vegas the others have not, which is invest in new nv technology computers able to do far bigger searches, the mirage las vegas and las using search software that that was independently developed and is designed to search all fare and schedule possibilities comprehensively and without bias, and in telecommunications capacity vegas and nv that will provide absolutely the most current information on seat mirage availability. it is expected that more than 99% of the time that we come up with a better fare, las it will not be because we had access to any fare that its competitor did not. it will be because we did a more comprehensive vegas and unbiased search of all the fare and schedule possibilities nv that are available to all channels. most mirage airlines today choose to make web fares available only on their own las websites, because these fares are so low it would be uneconomic to offer them through the higher cost channels. (it is, in fact, very common throughout the retailing world for stores or catalogs to also have a website, and for that website to offer a few prices that are below the prices charged for the same goods in the store or the catalog.) however whether an airline chooses to make its web fares available through crs''s to travel agents and the websites vegas that rely on crs''s is strictly an individual airline decision, and will remain so once orbitz is up and running. several third party websites (such as intellitrip.com) today take web fares from various airline websites (which they can do, because nothing is more public than a website) and display them in one place for their customers. and of course travel agents can book nv web mirage fares off an airline''s website for a customer if they wish (although whether they get a commission on that booking is up to the individual airline). a user-friendly search engine with the most current information ... the engine is easy to use, and the las results are ranked with the lowest fares first. travel sites are proliferating on the web like strip malls in suburbia, but there''s one whose name you should remember. expected to reinvent the online fare-finding wheel when it launches in june. it aims to search every available flight combination for travelers, vegas giving them the choice of cut-rate fares, nv fewest legs on a trip and most convenient departure times. this could radically alter an industry in which customers surf numerous sites before making a purchase.
