Expedia end sales of American Airlines tickets

Expedia has stopped its sales of American Airlines tickets subsequent a dispute.

It is the newest loop in the pricing argument between American and travel websites.

The Fort Worth, Texas-based airline has said that it would rather sell more tickets via its own website, because Expedia can be expensive.

Airlines have to pay a commission each time people explore a particular flight, look up a fare or book a trip.

American has now claimed it can present better packages, such as hotel and flight deals, to passengers who buy tickets directly from the airline.

Last month, American Airlines also pulled its flights from travel website Orbitz, saying consumers could just as effortlessly buy tickets from American’s website.
