das,

Check-out the article in this Sunday's Seattle Times in the travel section. A story of one journalists experience with Hotwire. Basically the article is about a very good rate on a less than 14 day advance purchase ticket and some poor customer service on Hotwire's part. Very interesting article about the pitfalls of buying tickets through on-line consolidators.

Very interesting article indeed, especially this quote:

"...who owns Hotwire? A consortium that includes six major U.S. airlines. One of them is United."
