Archive-name: travel/air/online-info
Last-modified: 1996/10/20

Changes from last week are indicated by the usual marks in the right margin.

Please look through this entire FAQ, particularly the PLEASE NOTE at the end,
before e-mailing me a question or comment, since most of the questions I get
are already answered in the FAQ.

* Is this FAQ available on the WWW?

Yes, at http://iecc.com/airline/airinfo.html, and perhaps at mirror sites.
Anyone is welcome to mirror the HTML version of this FAQ but please let me
know by e-mail <johnl@iecc.com> so I can tell you when there are updated
versions.

* Is there a way to get airline schedules on the Internet for free?

Yes, from several sources. Many of them will also let you book and buy
tickets.

* Is there a way to get airline schedules on the Internet if I pay for it?

Yes. Until mid-1996 the paid services were considerably better than the free
ones, but now I find that the free services are just as good.

* What's available for free?

There are now several Internet gateways to airline CRS (computer reservation
systems.)

Travelocity (http://www.travelocity.com) is the new Web interface to AMR's
Sabre system. It's still pretty buggy but shows promise. The underlying data
are the same as Easy Sabre and reservations made on one show up on the other.
You need to provide a credit card number to make reservations, but they won't
charge you until you tell them to. Tickets can be issued by mail or through
any Sabre travel agent. I find it considerably slower and less flexible than
the old line at a time Easy interface (below), but it's prettier. There is
also a great deal of travel destination information of variable usefulness.
Unlike other web-based systems, it lets you hold a reservation without buying
it.

Easy Sabre (http://www.easysabre.com) is the oldest computer reservation
system available to the public. Run by American Airlines, lets you check fares
and schedules on all airlines with computerized reservations (all but the most
obscure), and make reservations for yourself and others. Tickets can be sent
by mail, issued by airlines at the airport or city ticket offices, or by any
travel agent with a Sabre terminal. (Note: Sabre doesn't check for the ticket
by mail option whether there's actually time to get you the tickets. I don't
recommend it.) You can keep a lot of profile info on-line such as frequent
flyer numbers and meal and seat preferences which are automatically inserted
into reservations you make for yourself. Your ID can be your AAdvantage
frequent flyer number. Official Recreation Guide available at extra cost. Line
oriented command language, e.g. to ask for flights from Boston to San
Francisco on July 4 around noon:

/AIR,BOS,SFO,4JUL,1200

It will prompt you field by field if you don't know all the parameters.

Easy uses the same underlying system as Travelocity, above, but also handles
hotels and rental cars and is much, much faster. It's available via the new
web site and also via on-line services (below).

AOL and Prodigy each have their own screen-oriented interface to Easy which is
alleged to be easier to use but provides only a subset of the command line
functionality. The web site provides the command line version, with a one-line
form at the bottom of each page into which you can type the next command. I
give away a little program, available with the WWW version of this FAQ, that
runs under Unix and recreates the classic (but really fast) text-only Easy
using the Web server.

FLIFO (http://www.flifo.com) is a new system offering booking and ticketing. A
"fare buster" feature looks for cheaper flights close to the ones you asked
for, a nice touch. Charged to credit card, delivered by overnight UPS. They
have flight status for American, Continental, and Delta, and modest discounts
for Continental and TWA. Similar data to Travelocity (both based on Sabre),
less flashy, but less buggy, too.

PC Travel (http://www.pctravel.com) is an on-line travel agency that lets you
check fares and schedules, and make reservations. Credit card number required
to make reservations, but they won't issue tickets or charge you until you
specifically say to do so. Data come from Apollo, the United Airlines
reservation system. Tickets are issued through PC Travel, paying with a credit
card, generally delivered the next day by FedEx. You can also telnet to
pctravel.com. I find the telnet version sort of clunky compared to Easy Sabre,
but it's certainly easier for novice users, and considering that it's free,
it's fine. They now have a travel club for $50/yr which offers 500 frequent
flyer miles for each ticket you book, credited to any of a list of airline
programs. No ticketing for Northwest or KLM due to Northwest's unfair new rule
that pays a lower commission than normal for tickets booked via the Net.

Internet Travel Network (http://www.itn.net) is a WWW-based flight booking
system. You make reservations, using Apollo, which are then ticketed by any
one of a long list of participating travel agencies. Users pay nothing,
agencies pay $3/ticket. It often has trouble finding itineraries, for one I
tried it found two, while Easy found over a dozen, and it sometimes misses low
fares that the other systems find. They've been working to make it better, and
it's improved somewhat over the past year, so if the agency you use
participates, it's worth trying, and again it's hard to fault the price.
Several other sites on the net such as American Express have ``private label''
connections to ITN, but it's the same system, usually just with slightly
different screen backgrounds and titles.

Trax Software (http://www.trax.com), a vendor of front-end software for CRSes
has a live demo page for Web package, which lets you check availability and
fares, using multiple CRS for data. Tickets are issued through a local agency
in Virginia and possibly other agencies in the future. It's not as glitzy as
Travelocity or ITN, but it seems to work pretty well and to be faster than
either.

CEL Corp (http://www.celcorp.com/sabre/sabrehome.html) offers a different
gateway to Sabre as a demonstration of their Web-to-legacy-mainframe software.
It lets you look at itineraries and has a lowest fare search. There's no
bookings but you can e-mail the itinerary you found to your travel agent (or
anyone else) and ask them to book it for you.

System One (http://www.sys1.com/), which started a long time ago as Eastern
Airlines' reservation system, has now grown into an enormous international CRS
called Amadeus, with a bunch of attractive web pages. They offer extensive
schedule and price info. No booking yet, they say to call your agent. They say
they'll have more cities, rental cars, booking, and other features on-line in
early '96.

TISS (http://www.tiss.com) is an online database in Germany with current
airfares provided by a group of consolidators. They offer departures from
Australia, Belgium, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Luxembourg,
Malaysia, Netherlands, Singapore and Switzerland, and plan to add other
countries soon. They claim the prices they offer are the best available.

Worldspan (http://www.worldspan.com) is another large international CRS owned
mostly by Delta, Northwest, TWA. They have an attractive web site with a
demonstration of their new Web availability and pricing system, but no
booking. (Booking available to Compuserve users via Travelshopper and
Northwest's system.)

Mellow Yellow (http://www.clubi.ie/yellow/bin/travel) lists discount air fares
from UK consolidators and bucket shops. (Most fares are for flights from the
U.K.) You select origin and destination, and they e-mail you a list of
applicable fares.

Destinations Unlimited (http://www.air-fare.com) tracks lowest fares among
major U.S. cities, with daily updates of significantly lower fares. Res and
ticketing also available.

* What reservation systems are available if you pay for them?

TRAVELSHOPPER: Run by Worldspan (formerly PARS), which is Delta, Northwest and
TWA, similar features to Easy. There are some features not available on Easy
such as open date tickets. Same ticketing options as Easy, but fewer agents
have Worldspan terminals. No travel club, less detailed profile. Currently
only available on Compuserve via CIM interface, rumors say it's being
relaunched in a joint project with Microsoft. They have a web site (above) as
well.

UNITED CONNECTION: New interface to United's Apollo system available on
Compuserve. I find it inferior to Sabre, less complete flight info (no
Southwest flights) and doesn't find as many itineraries. Your ID is your
mileage plus number, non-members can join on-line. No car or hotel info yet.
More reports from users are welcome.

ON-LINE OFFICIAL AIRLINE GUIDE: Similar data and commands to the other ones.
It used to be better than the airline-operated systems, but now everyone's
updated in near real-time. Lots of other random stuff, e.g. frequent flyer
newsletter and flight departure and arrival info (they can show you the
contents of the flight info TV screens from some airports.) Airlines and a few
agencies can issue tickets.

NORTHWEST/KLM: They have a new reservation system available on Compuserve,
with data from Worldspan. User reports are mixed, some reporting that it
misses fares and connections that Sabre finds. It's slow, like Travelocity,
not fast like Easy. You get 500 or 1000 NW miles when you book a NW/KL ticket.
Delivery by FedEx overnight, no extra charge.

* Are these the same systems that travel agents use?

The underlying data are the same, but the interface is different. Some data
are visible to agents, but not to these systems. A good way to work is to make
the best reservation you can on-line, then call a travel agent, tell him what
you've reserved, and see if he can do better.

* How do I get access to them?

Easy is available via the web or via gateway systems. United and Travelshopper
are only available via gateway systems, OAG directly or via gateways.

Easy Sabre: GEnie, Compuserve, Delphi, Prodigy, AOL
Travelshopper: Compuserve, must use CIM
United: Compuserve, must use CIM
OAG: Direct subscription, Delphi, Compuserve, GEnie, Dow Jones News Retrieval,
AT&T InterSpan.

Delphi: Telnet to delphi.com, no surcharge.
OAG: Telnet to oag.com, no surcharge.
AOL: 2.0 version of their software speaks WinSock, available from their FTP
server at ftp.aol.com.
Compuserve: Telnet to compuserve.com, hostname CIS. Compuserve's front-end
program CIM runs under Windows and is required for Apollo Connection,
Travelshopper, and Northwest's system. The latest version of CIM works both
with traditional dial-in access and via WinSock. You can download it from
their Web page (http://www.compuserve.com).

For dial-in access, Delphi is on Sprintnet and Tymnet, no surcharge nights and
weekends. Compuserve has its own extensive network, or is available via
Sprintnet at a surcharge. OAG is on Sprintnet and Tymnet, no surcharge. AOL is
on Sprintnet and Tymnet, no surcharge.

* How much do they cost?

Easy, United, and Travelshopper are available at the base rate for all of the
on-line services that offer them except for Prodigy.

Delphi offers a five-hour free trial when you sign up; you can use Easy during
that time. AOL also usually offers a free trial period.

Gateway systems charge a substantial surcharge for the OAG, e.g. Delphi
charges 59 cents/min peak, 42 cents/min off-peak. A direct subscription to the
OAG is much cheaper, per-minute rates are lower than the surcharge. Call
800-323-4000, and ask for a 15 day free trial, $25 signup if you continue. If
you subscribe directly, the OAG waives session charges if you make or cancel a
reservation during the session. The OAG has no monthly minimum, which is good
for occasional users.

* Is there information directly from the airlines?

Many airlines are on the World Wide Web. For most of them you need a browser
that supports forms, such as Netscape, or Mosaic. Two good indexes of them     |
are:

http://www.yahoo.com/Business/Corporations/Travel/Airlines
http://www.itn.net/airlines

The airlines listed here have booking information available; see the pages
mentioned above for lots of others of airline web pages with other info.

In the discussions below, flight ops means flight operations, that is, delays,
gates, cancellations, and the like. Ticketless ticketing means that rather
than issuing a real ticket, the airline sends you a receipt with a ticket
number. You cite that number and show ID when you check in. They send the
receipt via e-mail, fax, or (if there's time) snail mail. You pay with a
credit card.

Air Canada (http://www.aircanada.ca:80/ac_world/schedule/) has schedule info.
Aussi disponsible en francais
(http://www.aircanada.ca/french/ac_world/schedule). You can also download a
300K PC version of the entire schedule.

Alaska Airlines (http://www.alaska-air.com/) has a web site with attractively
retro graphics with flight info, reservations, and ticketless ticketing. The
reservation system only seems to be up about half the time.

America West (http://www.americawest.com) has schedule info in a site that
would be quite attractive if the images would just hold still.

American Airlines (http://www.americanair.com/) has schedules, fares, and
flight ops. The fares are all quoted ``one way'' even though most of them
require that you buy round trip. (Legal, but really tacky.) Reservations and
ticketing available through AAccess, a cripple-ware version of Travelocity
(e.g., Travelocity lets you queue a reservation to your travel agent, this
system doesn't.)

Amtrak (http://www.amtrak.com) isn't an airline, but they're competitive on    -
many routes in urban parts of the U.S., and have scenic long distance routes.
Schedule info available, reservations promised for early '97.

Austrian Airlines (http://www.Austria.EU.net:81/aua/) offers schedule and
availability info.

British Midland (http://www.iflybritishmidland.com/) appears to have a
Web-based booking and ticketing system called CyberSeat, although I couldn't
get it to do anything other than produce "time exceeded" messages.

Canadian Airlines (http://www.cdnair.ca) has schedule info. Pas disponsible en
francais, tsk, tsk.

Continental (http://www.flycontinental.com) has bare-bones schedule info.

Delta (http://www.delta-air.com) has schedules and flight ops.

El Al (http://www.elal.co.il) has U.S. schedules and some US-oriented package
info.

Manx Airlines (http://www.manx-airlines.com) has schedule info.

Northwest Airlines (http://www.nwa.com) has schedule info, flights ops, and
some vacation packages.

Philippine Airlines (http://www.sequel.net/PAL/Welcome.html) has a site that
looks like it's supposed to offer on-line reservations, but the link currently
leads to a ``Server Error''.

Qantas (http://www.qantas.com.au) has an attractive site with schedule info
and flight ops. Also a mirror site (http://www.qantas.com) in the U.S.

Sabena (http://www.sabena.com/) has minimal trans-Atlantic schedule info.

Singapore Airlines (http://www.singaporeair.com) has schedule info, best
viewed via a proxy server that will filter out anything that's unwholesome.

South African Airways (http://www.saa.co.za/saa/base.htm) has an extremely
gaudy site with schedules and a little destination info. (Or if you like
frames and cookies, start at http://www.saa.co.za/saa instead.)

Southwest Airlines (http://www.iflyswa.com) has schedules and fares, and now
reservations and ticketless ticketing. The site has the usual problem that the
graphics, although beautiful, are huge and downloading is slow. (Doesn't
anyone ever try these things on a dial-up?)

Swissair (http://www.swissair.ch) has schedule info.

TWA (http://www.twa.com) has schedule info, and a sweepstakes for 50,000
frequent flyer miles if you're willing to sign up and tell them your mother's
maiden name.

United (http://www.ual.com) has schedule information attractively displayed in
type too small to read, with mysterious references to ASPEN CO at the bottom
of most pages in their web site, with longitude and latitude.

Varig (http://www.varig.com.br) has schedule info. The site's in Portugese;    +
click on Voos e Horarios to get to the schedule page.                          +

Via Rail Canada (http://www.viarail.ca) isn't an airline but is competitive in
the Montreal-Ottawa-Toronto corridor. Schedule and fare info, no reservations.
Aussi disponsible en francais. (Was developed in French and translated into
English, I know the guy who did it.)

Western Pacific (http://www.westpac.com) has bare-bones schedule info on their
web site.

* Any special deals for net users?

Airlines occasionally offer special fares or promotions to Internet users.

Cathay Pacific Airlines (http://www.cathay-usa.com) has occasional promotions
and auctions seats from the U.S. to Hong Kong. In the current auction, bids
start at $300 (for a coach round trip) and there's a $1 fee to bid. The
previous auction offered 100 first class seats for AAdvantage miles. You have
to register in their free ``Cybertraveller'' at the web site.

Continental (http://www.flycontinental.com/q3/cooltravel/cooltravel.html) has
a mailing list for net-only specials.

American Airlines has a mailing list for ``Net SAAver fares'', otherwise
unadvertised specials from Chicago or Dallas. Sign up on their web page
(http://www2.amrcorp.com/cgi-bin/aans).

Northwest (http://www.nwa.com/nwa/flight/promos/index.shtml) has promotions
including a few web-only fares which they put on their site on Wednesdays.

USAir (http://www.usair.com/esavers.htm) has an "e-savers" mailing list with
weekly special fares from Boston, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, other cities to
be added.

* What travel agents and clubs are available?

Easy Sabre (http://www.easysabre.com) offers Traveller's Access, run by
Comp-U-Card which for $49/yr rebates 5% on air, hotel, and car rentals for you
and family members that they've ticketed for you and family members when you
send in receipts. In my experience, their agents are not very good.

Travel-by-Modem <travel@delphi.com> is run by a small company in Belmont,
Mass., primary access via Delphi, but Internet e-mail is fine, too. Costs
$39/yr, sliding rebate on tickets depending on price and how delivered.
Rebates mailed automatically quarterly. Lots of useful coupons and discounts.
That's the agency I usually use. Although they have a national clientele,
they're 1/2 mile from where I used to live, which may bias me somewhat.

* Are there other on-line agents?

There's lots of them.
