Can't book USAir thru expedia.com anymore!

[treloarf]

I've been trying to check airfares from Pgh. for the end of February timeframe & use expedia because it's quicker than going directing thru USAir's website. Went to check today & it came up with no flights on USAir. I checked USair's website & it said that they are no longer letting their flights be booked thru expedia.com.

FYI- Effective immediately, US Airways tickets will no longer be available through expedia.com.
Over the Thanksgiving holiday, Expedia raised the fee it charges customers to purchase a US Airways ticket (from $5 to $8.99). This higher fee only applies to US Airways and our customers. This action – taken without notice – unfairly puts our customers in the middle of discussions with Expedia about its desire to significantly increase the commission it charges US Airways for selling our tickets.

By taking the action it did, Expedia also represented to the public that our fares were higher than those of our competitors because Expedia factored in its higher fee for US Airways tickets.

As a result, we have notified Expedia that, effective immediately, US Airways tickets will no longer be available for sale online through expedia.com.

Customers have every assurance that travel already purchased through Expedia will not be affected. If you need any other assistance with your reservation, please call our reservations department at 1-800-428-4322 and one of our professional sales representatives will help you.

There are other convenient choices for purchasing US Airways tickets online, including through usairways.com, where there are no booking fees, where low fares are always listed, and where customers earn bonus Dividend Miles with their purchase.

In the event we can work out an agreement with Expedia that is mutually beneficial, we will quickly restore Expedia’s ability to sell US Airways tickets. Meanwhile, like some other carriers, our fares will not be available through Expedia.
