FLASH: CENDANT is planning to put its travel business, which includes ORBITZ, CHEAPTICKETS, up for sale Monday; expected to be sold for more than $4 billion...

soon enough they will all be owned by one or two big corporations and then the competition is gone again.

Wonder if the anti-trust people will get on this?

I've noticed that many different sites which look different at first glance, are actually using the same few booking engines.

This could turn out better for competition if Cendant sells these off in pieces. Right now CheapTickets and Orbitz seem more or less the same, whenever I check them.
