It wasn't just American Airlines pulling its flights off online travel sites last week. Perhaps lost in the shadows of AA's high-profile dispute with Orbitz, Delta also moved to remove its flight inventory from some lesser-used travel sites.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution writes Delta "is pulling flights from several small online travel agency sites, as it tries to increase bookings coming directly through delta.com."

Interesting and remains to be seen what effect this has. I see the tnooz item
Delta cites Apple experience, removes flights from CheapOair, BookIt.com, OneTravel | Tnooz
Has delta queries directed to other airline's flights

Cheers skip

I think AA have to wait until their contract expires to fully remove their feed. Expedia responded as they expected that to happen on expiry anyway.

Indeed only a matter of time, before one way or another AA fares would be off Expedia.
