Comment on Room Key hopes to bring down distribution costs for hotel bookings by DaninSTL

Sounds like price fixing future threat to me but I’m kinda dumb. I book where ever gives me the best rate and then best points on top of that. I have started playing with topcashback. Jury is still out on that site for me.

Totally get your point Rick, the way I see it is that for this model to work hotel chains need to pass the cost saving benefit to the customers just like the low cost airlines do from what they save by not using the GDS’s.

I like the fact that I find most of my hotel loyalty programs under one roof. All in all it’s still a long way to go for Room Key given that they took 18 months to just launch!

If they capitalize on their benefits well and good else they will also become and also ran in this race.

Totally get that but if you get cheaper rates plus loyalty points, I guess then there’s nothing lost in that.

I am frequently asked what I think of RoomKey.

There is some value in having the hotel loyalty program hotels on one site, but I don’t see any competitive advantage to the site.

Most of us want to see all our choices for a location or else just the limited choices of our favorite loyalty program hotels.

I don’t find RoomKey to have any value that I can’t get from a site like Kayak.

Of course the hotel chains like it since it is a lower cost distribution system than other online travel agencies.

It’s always good to have option. But I have repeatedly find Priceline and Hotwire to be my goto site for booking. I think cheaper hotel beats status and point accruing for me. I pay a big tip at the check in for good room and free Internet

Comment on Air Berlin to commence non-stop operations from Berlin to Los Angeles by lawrence martin

Thanks to Berlin airlines for adding an affordable route from Europe to the west coast of U.S. with an implied assurance of well maintained equipment. I look forward to my flight instead of dreading it.

I have flown on the usual fly-by-night cheap airlines like Philipine airlines and had bad experiences.
