Hotel-Rate Figures Raise Eyebrows
http://www.hfxnews.ca/index.cfm?sid=7704&sc=7

Expedia.ca recently released its average per night price for hotel bookings across different cities in Canada as well as the up/down movement from last year. Now, it seems that some of the higher priced locations are feeling "offended" and stating that the actual rates are much lower. So, what does this all come down to? Money! If rates are published as high in one city and low in another, travelers are more likely to book in the low city... Interesting read.

This is an interesting article on some differences between Orbitz, Expedia and Travelocity when it comes to customer service. A word of caution, do not let the Orbitz slant get to you.
