Mytravellite (https://www.mytravellite.com/) is a low cost airline flying from Birmingham (UK) to Ireland and Spain. Schedules, reservations, destination info. Small discount offered for online booking.

Norwegian Airlines (https://www.norwegian.no) is a low cost airline flying
from Oslo to Norway and elsewhere in Europe. Site has reservations and info mostly translated from the Norwegian.

Olympic (https://www.olympicairlines.com/), the flag carrier of Greece, has a basic site with online booking.

Openskies (https://www.flyopenskies.com/) is a new subsidiary of British Airways that currently flies between Paris and New York, and Paris and Washington DC. They plan to add flights from other European cities. (It's
named after the treaty that lets them do that.) Spiffy site has the usual stuff; their premium economy gets rave reviews, close to biz class at much lower fares.

Ryanair (https://www.ryanair.ie) is a rapidly expanding low-fare airline with
a hub at London Stansted and minor hubs in London Luton, Dublin, Shannon, Glasgow, Brussels, Stockholm Skavsta, Frankfurt Hahn, and Milan Orio Al Serio. Web site offers routes, fares, and booking. Fares start at one cent but rarely stop there. Even with all the nuisance charges they're often quite cheap, and once you battle your way onto the plane, they generally run on time and rarely lose the bag you've paid them to check.

SAS (https://www.sas.se) has schedule info on-line, and in large downloadable text file. Windows interface program (2MB download) lets you search through
the schedule file, but it's far faster to search with a text editor. Also limited reservations for pass holders and frequent flyer redemptions.

Spanair (https://www.spanair.com/) is a Spanish regional airline that ran out of money and suddenly collapsed. Not currently recommended.

Swiss (https://www.swiss.com), the successor to Crossair, has schedule info
and on-line booking on a somewhat sloppy site, and some web specials. (Click Special Offers on the home page.) They're about to be taken over by Lufthansa, but it's not clear whether it'll continue to operate as a separate airline.

Swissair went bankrupt in September 2001 and their schedules have somewhat
been taken over by Swiss airlines.

Thomsonfly (https://flights.thomson.co.uk/en/index.html) is a low fare airline based in the UK offering flights to vacation destinations in central and southern Europe, north Africa, and the Americas. Site offers flights and package vacations.

Transavia (https://www.transavia.nl/en) is a subsidiary of KLM flying from Amsterdam to holiday destinations in Europe and north Africa. Info and online reservations. Their former low-cost subsidiary Basiqair is now merged into Transavia.

Virgin Atlantic (https://www.fly.virgin.com/) has a spiffy looking site with reservations, fares, and ticketing. Also tours and occasional specials.

VLM (https://www.vlm-airlines.com/) is a low-cost airline flying small planes mostly between the UK and Benelux. (The V stands for Flemish.) Schedules, reservations, company history. It's more or less the same airline as Citijet now, owned by Air France/KLM.

XL Airways (https://www.xl.com) flies from France and Germany to vacation destinations in southern Europe and north Africa, primarily package vacations. Dense, functional has all the stuff they offer. Their former parent, Excel Airways in the UK, is bankrupt, but spun off the continental parts which are still in business. For now, at least.

* Airlines elsewhere in the world

Afriqiyah (https://www.afriqiyah.aero/) flies a modern fleet from its home
base in Tripoli to Africa, Europe, and Asia. Snappy looking site offered the usual stuff, with online booking provided by Sabre but doesn't currently work.

Air Asia (https://www.airasia.com/) is a startup headquartered in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) offering low-fare single-class point to point service along the lines of JetBlue or Ryanair. They have some amazing intro fares, like round trip from Kuala Lumpur to Johor, across the bridge from Singamore, for RM78, about US$20. Online reservations, info, and a nice three page menu of onboard food offerings. I think I'll try the Asian egg salad sandwich. In September 2007, a new affiliate called (for the moment) AirAsia X (https://www.airasia.com/site/en/page.jsp?reference=aax_pr1) will start low-fare long haul service between Malaysia and points as far away as Europe.

Air India (https://home.airindia.in/) has a home page chock full of dancing, blinking flash animations that looks like an Asian bazaar (which, I suppose,
it is.) Site is oddly organized but has the usual stuff, online ticketing,
ops, destination info, and so forth. To buy tickets you have to register as a YATRIK (Your Airline Travel Reservation Internet Kit.) It's different in
India.

Air New Zealand (https://www.airnz.co.nz) offers schedules and booking via a private-label version of ITN/Getthere, which one time assured me that you
can't fly from Auckland to New York. It's better now, although it doesn't seem to find the best fares. Also special fares and frequent flyer info. Once
you're on the plane, though, the service is great, particularly those flat bed business class seats.

ANA (https://www.ana.co.jp/eng/int/) is Japan's #2 airline, flying both domestic and international routes. Site is not fancy but very functional with much better fare info than most airlines offer. Once you buy a ticket, don't miss the cute animated seat selector.

Ansett Australia (https://www.ansett.com.au) stopped flying in March 2002. But the web site has lots of tedious details of the financial dissection of the carcass.

Aerolineas Argentinas (https://www.aerolineas.com.ar) has schedules and reservations (for Argentine residents) through a private label version of Amadeus. In Spanish and English. I think it's flying this week, labor has been battling owner Iberia.

Cathay Pacific (https://www.cathay-usa.com), Hong Kong's airline, offers booking through ITN and a variety of special offers such as bonus AA frequent flyer miles or package deals to Asia.

El Al (https://www.elal.co.il) has U.S. schedules and some US-oriented package info. Appears to have on-line booking although I couldn't get it to work.

Emirates (https://www.emirates.com), the airline of Dubai, has an attractive site with info about schedules, packages and special offers, and requent flyer info. The on-line booking makes it easy to search by schedule, even among multiple days, somewhat possible to search by fare, and due to Javascript bugs I can't tell whether it actually sells tickets.

Gol (https://www.voegol.com.br) is a low-fare airline flying in Brazil and a few adjacent countries. Routes, fares, e-tickets, ground connections. Nice flash animation of flying pigs on the home page.

Kingfisher (https://www.flykingfisher.com/) flies throughout India and to London and a few cities in Asia. Service is supposed to be quite good,
although they're reported to be running out of money. Bright red web site has all the usual stuff.

Lan Chile (https://www.lanchile.cl) has an attractive multi-lingual site with schedules, fares, and some cheap Internet-only specials.

Malaysia Airlines (https://www.malaysiaairlines.com) has route and schedule information, with frequent special deals, but if you want to buy a ticket, you have to call them.

Pacific Blue (https://www.flypacificblue.com/) is a new bit of the Virgin empire that flying from New Zealand to Australia and other South Pacific
points and, later this year, domestically in New Zealand. The web site is basically the same as its ozzie parent Virgin Blue, with some really cheap introductory fares on their new routes.

Polynesian Airlines (https://www.polynesianairlines.co.nz/) has basic routes and schedules.

Qantas (https://www.qantas.com.au) has an attractive site with online booking, schedule info and flight ops and a downloadable off-line Windows itinerary manager. Bookings are oriented toward but not limited to Australian residents.

Royal Air Maroc (https://www.royalairmaroc.com/) has an attractive site with a fragile connection to Amadeus that will occasionally sell you a ticket. Site has a grab bag of other goodies such as detailed information on many airports they fly to (but none of the ones in Morocco), and the results of the 4th
World Executive Challenge golf tournament.

Royal Jordanian (https://www.rja.com.jo) has a stylish but slow web site with routes and schedules to and from their Amman hub.

Singapore Airlines (https://www.singaporeair.com) has schedule info, reservations, frequent flyer, and info on their new A380s. It's best viewed
via a server that will filter out anything that's unwholesome.

South African Airways (https://www.saa.co.za/saa) has schedules and a little destination info, but they've toned down the eye-straining graphics.
Occasional seat auctions.

Varig (https://www.varig.com.br), is now a subsidiary of low cost carrier Gol, the old Varig having run out of money and died a while ago. Web site entirely in Portugese has schedule info and reservations.

Virgin Blue (https://www.virginblue.com.au) is a low-fare domestic airline in Australia with its hub in sunny Brisbane. Schedules and on-line booking. Lunch costs extra.


* Are there many on-line agents?

There's lots of them, grouped below by location of the agent and type of service.

NOTE: All of the descriptions below are edited from info provided by the agencies themselves. There are many resources other than travel agents available on the net, as well, but they're not listed here. Most agencies
offer a broad range of services, so the groupings by type of service below are pretty arbitrary.

and on-line booking on a somewhat sloppy site, and some web specials. (Click Special Offers on the home page.) They're about to be taken over by Lufthansa, but it's not clear whether it'll continue to operate as a separate airline.

Swissair went bankrupt in September 2001 and their schedules have somewhat
been taken over by Swiss airlines.

Thomsonfly (https://flights.thomson.co.uk/en/index.html) is a low fare airline based in the UK offering flights to vacation destinations in central and southern Europe, north Africa, and the Americas. Site offers flights and package vacations.

Transavia (https://www.transavia.nl/en) is a subsidiary of KLM flying from Amsterdam to holiday destinations in Europe and north Africa. Info and online reservations. Their former low-cost subsidiary Basiqair is now merged into Transavia.

Virgin Atlantic (https://www.fly.virgin.com/) has a spiffy looking site with reservations, fares, and ticketing. Also tours and occasional specials.

VLM (https://www.vlm-airlines.com/) is a low-cost airline flying small planes mostly between the UK and Benelux. (The V stands for Flemish.) Schedules, reservations, company history. It's more or less the same airline as Citijet now, owned by Air France/KLM.

XL Airways (https://www.xl.com) flies from France and Germany to vacation destinations in southern Europe and north Africa, primarily package vacations. Dense, functional has all the stuff they offer. Their former parent, Excel Airways in the UK, is bankrupt, but spun off the continental parts which are still in business. For now, at least.

* Airlines elsewhere in the world

Afriqiyah (https://www.afriqiyah.aero/) flies a modern fleet from its home
base in Tripoli to Africa, Europe, and Asia. Snappy looking site offered the usual stuff, with online booking provided by Sabre but doesn't currently work.

Air Asia (https://www.airasia.com/) is a startup headquartered in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) offering low-fare single-class point to point service along the lines of JetBlue or Ryanair. They have some amazing intro fares, like round trip from Kuala Lumpur to Johor, across the bridge from Singamore, for RM78, about US$20. Online reservations, info, and a nice three page menu of onboard food offerings. I think I'll try the Asian egg salad sandwich. In September 2007, a new affiliate called (for the moment) AirAsia X (https://www.airasia.com/site/en/page.jsp?reference=aax_pr1) will start low-fare long haul service between Malaysia and points as far away as Europe.

Air India (https://home.airindia.in/) has a home page chock full of dancing, blinking flash animations that looks like an Asian bazaar (which, I suppose,
it is.) Site is oddly organized but has the usual stuff, online ticketing,
ops, destination info, and so forth. To buy tickets you have to register as a YATRIK (Your Airline Travel Reservation Internet Kit.) It's different in
India.

Air New Zealand (https://www.airnz.co.nz) offers schedules and booking via a private-label version of ITN/Getthere, which one time assured me that you
can't fly from Auckland to New York. It's better now, although it doesn't seem to find the best fares. Also special fares and frequent flyer info. Once
you're on the plane, though, the service is great, particularly those flat bed business class seats.

ANA (https://www.ana.co.jp/eng/int/) is Japan's #2 airline, flying both domestic and international routes. Site is not fancy but very functional with much better fare info than most airlines offer. Once you buy a ticket, don't miss the cute animated seat selector.

Ansett Australia (https://www.ansett.com.au) stopped flying in March 2002. But the web site has lots of tedious details of the financial dissection of the carcass.

Aerolineas Argentinas (https://www.aerolineas.com.ar) has schedules and reservations (for Argentine residents) through a private label version of Amadeus. In Spanish and English. I think it's flying this week, labor has been battling owner Iberia.

Cathay Pacific (https://www.cathay-usa.com), Hong Kong's airline, offers booking through ITN and a variety of special offers such as bonus AA frequent flyer miles or package deals to Asia.

El Al (https://www.elal.co.il) has U.S. schedules and some US-oriented package info. Appears to have on-line booking although I couldn't get it to work.

Emirates (https://www.emirates.com), the airline of Dubai, has an attractive site with info about schedules, packages and special offers, and requent flyer info. The on-line booking makes it easy to search by schedule, even among multiple days, somewhat possible to search by fare, and due to Javascript bugs I can't tell whether it actually sells tickets.

Gol (https://www.voegol.com.br) is a low-fare airline flying in Brazil and a few adjacent countries. Routes, fares, e-tickets, ground connections. Nice flash animation of flying pigs on the home page.

Kingfisher (https://www.flykingfisher.com/) flies throughout India and to London and a few cities in Asia. Service is supposed to be quite good,
although they're reported to be running out of money. Bright red web site has all the usual stuff.

Lan Chile (https://www.lanchile.cl) has an attractive multi-lingual site with schedules, fares, and some cheap Internet-only specials.

Malaysia Airlines (https://www.malaysiaairlines.com) has route and schedule information, with frequent special deals, but if you want to buy a ticket, you have to call them.

Pacific Blue (https://www.flypacificblue.com/) is a new bit of the Virgin empire that flying from New Zealand to Australia and other South Pacific
points and, later this year, domestically in New Zealand. The web site is basically the same as its ozzie parent Virgin Blue, with some really cheap introductory fares on their new routes.

Polynesian Airlines (https://www.polynesianairlines.co.nz/) has basic routes and schedules.

Qantas (https://www.qantas.com.au) has an attractive site with online booking, schedule info and flight ops and a downloadable off-line Windows itinerary manager. Bookings are oriented toward but not limited to Australian residents.

Royal Air Maroc (https://www.royalairmaroc.com/) has an attractive site with a fragile connection to Amadeus that will occasionally sell you a ticket. Site has a grab bag of other goodies such as detailed information on many airports they fly to (but none of the ones in Morocco), and the results of the 4th
World Executive Challenge golf tournament.

Royal Jordanian (https://www.rja.com.jo) has a stylish but slow web site with routes and schedules to and from their Amman hub.

Singapore Airlines (https://www.singaporeair.com) has schedule info, reservations, frequent flyer, and info on their new A380s. It's best viewed
via a server that will filter out anything that's unwholesome.

South African Airways (https://www.saa.co.za/saa) has schedules and a little destination info, but they've toned down the eye-straining graphics.
Occasional seat auctions.

Varig (https://www.varig.com.br), is now a subsidiary of low cost carrier Gol, the old Varig having run out of money and died a while ago. Web site entirely in Portugese has schedule info and reservations.

Virgin Blue (https://www.virginblue.com.au) is a low-fare domestic airline in Australia with its hub in sunny Brisbane. Schedules and on-line booking. Lunch costs extra.


* Are there many on-line agents?

There's lots of them, grouped below by location of the agent and type of service.

NOTE: All of the descriptions below are edited from info provided by the agencies themselves. There are many resources other than travel agents available on the net, as well, but they're not listed here. Most agencies
offer a broad range of services, so the groupings by type of service below are pretty arbitrary.

SAS (https://www.sas.se) has schedule info on-line, and in large downloadable text file. Windows interface program (2MB download) lets you search through

base in Tripoli to Africa, Europe, and Asia. Snappy looking site offered the usual stuff, with online booking provided by Sabre but doesn't currently work.

Air Asia (https://www.airasia.com/) is a startup headquartered in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) offering low-fare single-class point to point service along the lines of JetBlue or Ryanair. They have some amazing intro fares, like round trip from Kuala Lumpur to Johor, across the bridge from Singamore, for RM78, about US$20. Online reservations, info, and a nice three page menu of onboard food offerings. I think I'll try the Asian egg salad sandwich. In September 2007, a new affiliate called (for the moment) AirAsia X (https://www.airasia.com/site/en/page.jsp?reference=aax_pr1) will start low-fare long haul service between Malaysia and points as far away as Europe.

Air India (https://home.airindia.in/) has a home page chock full of dancing, blinking flash animations that looks like an Asian bazaar (which, I suppose,
it is.) Site is oddly organized but has the usual stuff, online ticketing,
ops, destination info, and so forth. To buy tickets you have to register as a YATRIK (Your Airline Travel Reservation Internet Kit.) It's different in
India.

Air New Zealand (https://www.airnz.co.nz) offers schedules and booking via a private-label version of ITN/Getthere, which one time assured me that you
can't fly from Auckland to New York. It's better now, although it doesn't seem to find the best fares. Also special fares and frequent flyer info. Once
you're on the plane, though, the service is great, particularly those flat bed business class seats.

ANA (https://www.ana.co.jp/eng/int/) is Japan's #2 airline, flying both domestic and international routes. Site is not fancy but very functional with much better fare info than most airlines offer. Once you buy a ticket, don't miss the cute animated seat selector.

Ansett Australia (https://www.ansett.com.au) stopped flying in March 2002. But the web site has lots of tedious details of the financial dissection of the carcass.

Aerolineas Argentinas (https://www.aerolineas.com.ar) has schedules and reservations (for Argentine residents) through a private label version of Amadeus. In Spanish and English. I think it's flying this week, labor has been battling owner Iberia.

Cathay Pacific (https://www.cathay-usa.com), Hong Kong's airline, offers booking through ITN and a variety of special offers such as bonus AA frequent flyer miles or package deals to Asia.

El Al (https://www.elal.co.il) has U.S. schedules and some US-oriented package info. Appears to have on-line booking although I couldn't get it to work.

Emirates (https://www.emirates.com), the airline of Dubai, has an attractive site with info about schedules, packages and special offers, and requent flyer info. The on-line booking makes it easy to search by schedule, even among multiple days, somewhat possible to search by fare, and due to Javascript bugs I can't tell whether it actually sells tickets.

Gol (https://www.voegol.com.br) is a low-fare airline flying in Brazil and a few adjacent countries. Routes, fares, e-tickets, ground connections. Nice flash animation of flying pigs on the home page.

Kingfisher (https://www.flykingfisher.com/) flies throughout India and to London and a few cities in Asia. Service is supposed to be quite good,
although they're reported to be running out of money. Bright red web site has all the usual stuff.

Lan Chile (https://www.lanchile.cl) has an attractive multi-lingual site with schedules, fares, and some cheap Internet-only specials.

Malaysia Airlines (https://www.malaysiaairlines.com) has route and schedule information, with frequent special deals, but if you want to buy a ticket, you have to call them.

Pacific Blue (https://www.flypacificblue.com/) is a new bit of the Virgin empire that flying from New Zealand to Australia and other South Pacific
points and, later this year, domestically in New Zealand. The web site is basically the same as its ozzie parent Virgin Blue, with some really cheap introductory fares on their new routes.

Polynesian Airlines (https://www.polynesianairlines.co.nz/) has basic routes and schedules.

Qantas (https://www.qantas.com.au) has an attractive site with online booking, schedule info and flight ops and a downloadable off-line Windows itinerary manager. Bookings are oriented toward but not limited to Australian residents.

Royal Air Maroc (https://www.royalairmaroc.com/) has an attractive site with a fragile connection to Amadeus that will occasionally sell you a ticket. Site has a grab bag of other goodies such as detailed information on many airports they fly to (but none of the ones in Morocco), and the results of the 4th
World Executive Challenge golf tournament.

Royal Jordanian (https://www.rja.com.jo) has a stylish but slow web site with routes and schedules to and from their Amman hub.

Singapore Airlines (https://www.singaporeair.com) has schedule info, reservations, frequent flyer, and info on their new A380s. It's best viewed
via a server that will filter out anything that's unwholesome.

South African Airways (https://www.saa.co.za/saa) has schedules and a little destination info, but they've toned down the eye-straining graphics.
Occasional seat auctions.

Varig (https://www.varig.com.br), is now a subsidiary of low cost carrier Gol, the old Varig having run out of money and died a while ago. Web site entirely in Portugese has schedule info and reservations.

Virgin Blue (https://www.virginblue.com.au) is a low-fare domestic airline in Australia with its hub in sunny Brisbane. Schedules and on-line booking. Lunch costs extra.


* Are there many on-line agents?

There's lots of them, grouped below by location of the agent and type of service.

NOTE: All of the descriptions below are edited from info provided by the agencies themselves. There are many resources other than travel agents available on the net, as well, but they're not listed here. Most agencies
offer a broad range of services, so the groupings by type of service below are pretty arbitrary.

NOTE: If you're a travel agent and would like to be listed, drop me a note and I'll add you. Please make my life easier by e-mailing me a three-line or so description in the style above. Thanks.

Mytravellite (https://www.mytravellite.com/) is a low cost airline flying from Birmingham (UK) to Ireland and Spain. Schedules, reservations, destination info. Small discount offered for online booking.

Norwegian Airlines (https://www.norwegian.no) is a low cost airline flying
from Oslo to Norway and elsewhere in Europe. Site has reservations and info mostly translated from the Norwegian.

Olympic (https://www.olympicairlines.com/), the flag carrier of Greece, has a basic site with online booking.

Openskies (https://www.flyopenskies.com/) is a new subsidiary of British Airways that currently flies between Paris and New York, and Paris and Washington DC. They plan to add flights from other European cities. (It's
named after the treaty that lets them do that.) Spiffy site has the usual stuff; their premium economy gets rave reviews, close to biz class at much lower fares.

Ryanair (https://www.ryanair.ie) is a rapidly expanding low-fare airline with
a hub at London Stansted and minor hubs in London Luton, Dublin, Shannon, Glasgow, Brussels, Stockholm Skavsta, Frankfurt Hahn, and Milan Orio Al Serio. Web site offers routes, fares, and booking. Fares start at one cent but rarely stop there. Even with all the nuisance charges they're often quite cheap, and once you battle your way onto the plane, they generally run on time and rarely lose the bag you've paid them to check.

SAS (https://www.sas.se) has schedule info on-line, and in large downloadable text file. Windows interface program (2MB download) lets you search through
the schedule file, but it's far faster to search with a text editor. Also limited reservations for pass holders and frequent flyer redemptions.

Spanair (https://www.spanair.com/) is a Spanish regional airline that ran out of money and suddenly collapsed. Not currently recommended.

Swiss (https://www.swiss.com), the successor to Crossair, has schedule info
and on-line booking on a somewhat sloppy site, and some web specials. (Click Special Offers on the home page.) They're about to be taken over by Lufthansa, but it's not clear whether it'll continue to operate as a separate airline.

Swissair went bankrupt in September 2001 and their schedules have somewhat
been taken over by Swiss airlines.

Thomsonfly (https://flights.thomson.co.uk/en/index.html) is a low fare airline based in the UK offering flights to vacation destinations in central and southern Europe, north Africa, and the Americas. Site offers flights and package vacations.

Transavia (https://www.transavia.nl/en) is a subsidiary of KLM flying from Amsterdam to holiday destinations in Europe and north Africa. Info and online reservations. Their former low-cost subsidiary Basiqair is now merged into Transavia.

Virgin Atlantic (https://www.fly.virgin.com/) has a spiffy looking site with reservations, fares, and ticketing. Also tours and occasional specials.

VLM (https://www.vlm-airlines.com/) is a low-cost airline flying small planes mostly between the UK and Benelux. (The V stands for Flemish.) Schedules, reservations, company history. It's more or less the same airline as Citijet now, owned by Air France/KLM.

XL Airways (https://www.xl.com) flies from France and Germany to vacation destinations in southern Europe and north Africa, primarily package vacations. Dense, functional has all the stuff they offer. Their former parent, Excel Airways in the UK, is bankrupt, but spun off the continental parts which are still in business. For now, at least.

* Airlines elsewhere in the world

Afriqiyah (https://www.afriqiyah.aero/) flies a modern fleet from its home
base in Tripoli to Africa, Europe, and Asia. Snappy looking site offered the usual stuff, with online booking provided by Sabre but doesn't currently work.

Air Asia (https://www.airasia.com/) is a startup headquartered in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) offering low-fare single-class point to point service along the lines of JetBlue or Ryanair. They have some amazing intro fares, like round trip from Kuala Lumpur to Johor, across the bridge from Singamore, for RM78, about US$20. Online reservations, info, and a nice three page menu of onboard food offerings. I think I'll try the Asian egg salad sandwich. In September 2007, a new affiliate called (for the moment) AirAsia X (https://www.airasia.com/site/en/page.jsp?reference=aax_pr1) will start low-fare long haul service between Malaysia and points as far away as Europe.

Air India (https://home.airindia.in/) has a home page chock full of dancing, blinking flash animations that looks like an Asian bazaar (which, I suppose,
it is.) Site is oddly organized but has the usual stuff, online ticketing,
ops, destination info, and so forth. To buy tickets you have to register as a YATRIK (Your Airline Travel Reservation Internet Kit.) It's different in
India.

Air New Zealand (https://www.airnz.co.nz) offers schedules and booking via a private-label version of ITN/Getthere, which one time assured me that you
can't fly from Auckland to New York. It's better now, although it doesn't seem to find the best fares. Also special fares and frequent flyer info. Once
you're on the plane, though, the service is great, particularly those flat bed business class seats.

ANA (https://www.ana.co.jp/eng/int/) is Japan's #2 airline, flying both domestic and international routes. Site is not fancy but very functional with much better fare info than most airlines offer. Once you buy a ticket, don't miss the cute animated seat selector.

Ansett Australia (https://www.ansett.com.au) stopped flying in March 2002. But the web site has lots of tedious details of the financial dissection of the carcass.

Aerolineas Argentinas (https://www.aerolineas.com.ar) has schedules and reservations (for Argentine residents) through a private label version of Amadeus. In Spanish and English. I think it's flying this week, labor has been battling owner Iberia.

Cathay Pacific (https://www.cathay-usa.com), Hong Kong's airline, offers booking through ITN and a variety of special offers such as bonus AA frequent flyer miles or package deals to Asia.

El Al (https://www.elal.co.il) has U.S. schedules and some US-oriented package info. Appears to have on-line booking although I couldn't get it to work.

Emirates (https://www.emirates.com), the airline of Dubai, has an attractive site with info about schedules, packages and special offers, and requent flyer info. The on-line booking makes it easy to search by schedule, even among multiple days, somewhat possible to search by fare, and due to Javascript bugs I can't tell whether it actually sells tickets.

Gol (https://www.voegol.com.br) is a low-fare airline flying in Brazil and a few adjacent countries. Routes, fares, e-tickets, ground connections. Nice flash animation of flying pigs on the home page.

Kingfisher (https://www.flykingfisher.com/) flies throughout India and to London and a few cities in Asia. Service is supposed to be quite good,
although they're reported to be running out of money. Bright red web site has all the usual stuff.

Lan Chile (https://www.lanchile.cl) has an attractive multi-lingual site with schedules, fares, and some cheap Internet-only specials.

Malaysia Airlines (https://www.malaysiaairlines.com) has route and schedule information, with frequent special deals, but if you want to buy a ticket, you have to call them.

Pacific Blue (https://www.flypacificblue.com/) is a new bit of the Virgin empire that flying from New Zealand to Australia and other South Pacific
points and, later this year, domestically in New Zealand. The web site is basically the same as its ozzie parent Virgin Blue, with some really cheap introductory fares on their new routes.

Polynesian Airlines (https://www.polynesianairlines.co.nz/) has basic routes and schedules.

Qantas (https://www.qantas.com.au) has an attractive site with online booking, schedule info and flight ops and a downloadable off-line Windows itinerary manager. Bookings are oriented toward but not limited to Australian residents.

Royal Air Maroc (https://www.royalairmaroc.com/) has an attractive site with a fragile connection to Amadeus that will occasionally sell you a ticket. Site has a grab bag of other goodies such as detailed information on many airports they fly to (but none of the ones in Morocco), and the results of the 4th
World Executive Challenge golf tournament.

Royal Jordanian (https://www.rja.com.jo) has a stylish but slow web site with routes and schedules to and from their Amman hub.

Singapore Airlines (https://www.singaporeair.com) has schedule info, reservations, frequent flyer, and info on their new A380s. It's best viewed
via a server that will filter out anything that's unwholesome.

South African Airways (https://www.saa.co.za/saa) has schedules and a little destination info, but they've toned down the eye-straining graphics.
Occasional seat auctions.

Varig (https://www.varig.com.br), is now a subsidiary of low cost carrier Gol, the old Varig having run out of money and died a while ago. Web site entirely in Portugese has schedule info and reservations.

Virgin Blue (https://www.virginblue.com.au) is a low-fare domestic airline in Australia with its hub in sunny Brisbane. Schedules and on-line booking. Lunch costs extra.


* Are there many on-line agents?

There's lots of them, grouped below by location of the agent and type of service.

NOTE: All of the descriptions below are edited from info provided by the agencies themselves. There are many resources other than travel agents available on the net, as well, but they're not listed here. Most agencies
offer a broad range of services, so the groupings by type of service below are pretty arbitrary.

European Travel Network (https://www.etn.nl/) has an extremely cluttered web site which lets you get discounted fare quotes from a variety of travel
agents. Also a link to ITN for regular booking. In March 2001 they sent mail
to me which looked to me to be spam, they swear that I'd left the address they spammed with a fare info request on their site a year earlier. I find that
very hard to believe, both because I don't recall visiting their site at all

Mytravellite (https://www.mytravellite.com/) is a low cost airline flying from Birmingham (UK) to Ireland and Spain. Schedules, reservations, destination info. Small discount offered for online booking.

Norwegian Airlines (https://www.norwegian.no) is a low cost airline flying
from Oslo to Norway and elsewhere in Europe. Site has reservations and info mostly translated from the Norwegian.

Olympic (https://www.olympicairlines.com/), the flag carrier of Greece, has a basic site with online booking.

Openskies (https://www.flyopenskies.com/) is a new subsidiary of British Airways that currently flies between Paris and New York, and Paris and Washington DC. They plan to add flights from other European cities. (It's
named after the treaty that lets them do that.) Spiffy site has the usual stuff; their premium economy gets rave reviews, close to biz class at much lower fares.

Ryanair (https://www.ryanair.ie) is a rapidly expanding low-fare airline with
a hub at London Stansted and minor hubs in London Luton, Dublin, Shannon, Glasgow, Brussels, Stockholm Skavsta, Frankfurt Hahn, and Milan Orio Al Serio. Web site offers routes, fares, and booking. Fares start at one cent but rarely stop there. Even with all the nuisance charges they're often quite cheap, and once you battle your way onto the plane, they generally run on time and rarely lose the bag you've paid them to check.

SAS (https://www.sas.se) has schedule info on-line, and in large downloadable text file. Windows interface program (2MB download) lets you search through
the schedule file, but it's far faster to search with a text editor. Also limited reservations for pass holders and frequent flyer redemptions.

Spanair (https://www.spanair.com/) is a Spanish regional airline that ran out of money and suddenly collapsed. Not currently recommended.

Swiss (https://www.swiss.com), the successor to Crossair, has schedule info
and on-line booking on a somewhat sloppy site, and some web specials. (Click Special Offers on the home page.) They're about to be taken over by Lufthansa, but it's not clear whether it'll continue to operate as a separate airline.

Swissair went bankrupt in September 2001 and their schedules have somewhat
been taken over by Swiss airlines.

Thomsonfly (https://flights.thomson.co.uk/en/index.html) is a low fare airline based in the UK offering flights to vacation destinations in central and southern Europe, north Africa, and the Americas. Site offers flights and package vacations.

Transavia (https://www.transavia.nl/en) is a subsidiary of KLM flying from Amsterdam to holiday destinations in Europe and north Africa. Info and online reservations. Their former low-cost subsidiary Basiqair is now merged into Transavia.

Virgin Atlantic (https://www.fly.virgin.com/) has a spiffy looking site with reservations, fares, and ticketing. Also tours and occasional specials.

VLM (https://www.vlm-airlines.com/) is a low-cost airline flying small planes mostly between the UK and Benelux. (The V stands for Flemish.) Schedules, reservations, company history. It's more or less the same airline as Citijet now, owned by Air France/KLM.

XL Airways (https://www.xl.com) flies from France and Germany to vacation destinations in southern Europe and north Africa, primarily package vacations. Dense, functional has all the stuff they offer. Their former parent, Excel Airways in the UK, is bankrupt, but spun off the continental parts which are still in business. For now, at least.

* Airlines elsewhere in the world

Afriqiyah (https://www.afriqiyah.aero/) flies a modern fleet from its home
base in Tripoli to Africa, Europe, and Asia. Snappy looking site offered the usual stuff, with online booking provided by Sabre but doesn't currently work.

Air Asia (https://www.airasia.com/) is a startup headquartered in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) offering low-fare single-class point to point service along the lines of JetBlue or Ryanair. They have some amazing intro fares, like round trip from Kuala Lumpur to Johor, across the bridge from Singamore, for RM78, about US$20. Online reservations, info, and a nice three page menu of onboard food offerings. I think I'll try the Asian egg salad sandwich. In September 2007, a new affiliate called (for the moment) AirAsia X (https://www.airasia.com/site/en/page.jsp?reference=aax_pr1) will start low-fare long haul service between Malaysia and points as far away as Europe.

Air India (https://home.airindia.in/) has a home page chock full of dancing, blinking flash animations that looks like an Asian bazaar (which, I suppose,
it is.) Site is oddly organized but has the usual stuff, online ticketing,
ops, destination info, and so forth. To buy tickets you have to register as a YATRIK (Your Airline Travel Reservation Internet Kit.) It's different in
India.

Air New Zealand (https://www.airnz.co.nz) offers schedules and booking via a private-label version of ITN/Getthere, which one time assured me that you
can't fly from Auckland to New York. It's better now, although it doesn't seem to find the best fares. Also special fares and frequent flyer info. Once
you're on the plane, though, the service is great, particularly those flat bed business class seats.

ANA (https://www.ana.co.jp/eng/int/) is Japan's #2 airline, flying both domestic and international routes. Site is not fancy but very functional with much better fare info than most airlines offer. Once you buy a ticket, don't miss the cute animated seat selector.

Ansett Australia (https://www.ansett.com.au) stopped flying in March 2002. But the web site has lots of tedious details of the financial dissection of the carcass.

Aerolineas Argentinas (https://www.aerolineas.com.ar) has schedules and reservations (for Argentine residents) through a private label version of Amadeus. In Spanish and English. I think it's flying this week, labor has been battling owner Iberia.

Cathay Pacific (https://www.cathay-usa.com), Hong Kong's airline, offers booking through ITN and a variety of special offers such as bonus AA frequent flyer miles or package deals to Asia.

El Al (https://www.elal.co.il) has U.S. schedules and some US-oriented package info. Appears to have on-line booking although I couldn't get it to work.

Emirates (https://www.emirates.com), the airline of Dubai, has an attractive site with info about schedules, packages and special offers, and requent flyer info. The on-line booking makes it easy to search by schedule, even among multiple days, somewhat possible to search by fare, and due to Javascript bugs I can't tell whether it actually sells tickets.

Gol (https://www.voegol.com.br) is a low-fare airline flying in Brazil and a few adjacent countries. Routes, fares, e-tickets, ground connections. Nice flash animation of flying pigs on the home page.

* Are there many on-line agents?

There's lots of them, grouped below by location of the agent and type of service.

NOTE: All of the descriptions below are edited from info provided by the agencies themselves. There are many resources other than travel agents available on the net, as well, but they're not listed here. Most agencies
offer a broad range of services, so the groupings by type of service below are pretty arbitrary.

NOTE: If you're a travel agent and would like to be listed, drop me a note and I'll add you. Please make my life easier by e-mailing me a three-line or so description in the style above. Thanks.

European Travel Network (https://www.etn.nl/) has an extremely cluttered web site which lets you get discounted fare quotes from a variety of travel

to me which looked to me to be spam, they swear that I'd left the address they spammed with a fare info request on their site a year earlier. I find that
very hard to believe, both because I don't recall visiting their site at all

Mytravellite (https://www.mytravellite.com/) is a low cost airline flying from Birmingham (UK) to Ireland and Spain. Schedules, reservations, destination info. Small discount offered for online booking.

Norwegian Airlines (https://www.norwegian.no) is a low cost airline flying
from Oslo to Norway and elsewhere in Europe. Site has reservations and info mostly translated from the Norwegian.

Olympic (https://www.olympicairlines.com/), the flag carrier of Greece, has a basic site with online booking.

Openskies (https://www.flyopenskies.com/) is a new subsidiary of British Airways that currently flies between Paris and New York, and Paris and Washington DC. They plan to add flights from other European cities. (It's
named after the treaty that lets them do that.) Spiffy site has the usual stuff; their premium economy gets rave reviews, close to biz class at much lower fares.

Ryanair (https://www.ryanair.ie) is a rapidly expanding low-fare airline with
a hub at London Stansted and minor hubs in London Luton, Dublin, Shannon, Glasgow, Brussels, Stockholm Skavsta, Frankfurt Hahn, and Milan Orio Al Serio. Web site offers routes, fares, and booking. Fares start at one cent but rarely stop there. Even with all the nuisance charges they're often quite cheap, and once you battle your way onto the plane, they generally run on time and rarely lose the bag you've paid them to check.

SAS (https://www.sas.se) has schedule info on-line, and in large downloadable text file. Windows interface program (2MB download) lets you search through
the schedule file, but it's far faster to search with a text editor. Also limited reservations for pass holders and frequent flyer redemptions.

Spanair (https://www.spanair.com/) is a Spanish regional airline that ran out of money and suddenly collapsed. Not currently recommended.

Swiss (https://www.swiss.com), the successor to Crossair, has schedule info
and on-line booking on a somewhat sloppy site, and some web specials. (Click Special Offers on the home page.) They're about to be taken over by Lufthansa, but it's not clear whether it'll continue to operate as a separate airline.

Swissair went bankrupt in September 2001 and their schedules have somewhat
been taken over by Swiss airlines.

Thomsonfly (https://flights.thomson.co.uk/en/index.html) is a low fare airline based in the UK offering flights to vacation destinations in central and southern Europe, north Africa, and the Americas. Site offers flights and package vacations.

Transavia (https://www.transavia.nl/en) is a subsidiary of KLM flying from Amsterdam to holiday destinations in Europe and north Africa. Info and online reservations. Their former low-cost subsidiary Basiqair is now merged into Transavia.

Virgin Atlantic (https://www.fly.virgin.com/) has a spiffy looking site with reservations, fares, and ticketing. Also tours and occasional specials.

VLM (https://www.vlm-airlines.com/) is a low-cost airline flying small planes mostly between the UK and Benelux. (The V stands for Flemish.) Schedules, reservations, company history. It's more or less the same airline as Citijet now, owned by Air France/KLM.

XL Airways (https://www.xl.com) flies from France and Germany to vacation destinations in southern Europe and north Africa, primarily package vacations. Dense, functional has all the stuff they offer. Their former parent, Excel Airways in the UK, is bankrupt, but spun off the continental parts which are still in business. For now, at least.

* Airlines elsewhere in the world

Afriqiyah (https://www.afriqiyah.aero/) flies a modern fleet from its home
base in Tripoli to Africa, Europe, and Asia. Snappy looking site offered the usual stuff, with online booking provided by Sabre but doesn't currently work.

Air Asia (https://www.airasia.com/) is a startup headquartered in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) offering low-fare single-class point to point service along the lines of JetBlue or Ryanair. They have some amazing intro fares, like round trip from Kuala Lumpur to Johor, across the bridge from Singamore, for RM78, about US$20. Online reservations, info, and a nice three page menu of onboard food offerings. I think I'll try the Asian egg salad sandwich. In September 2007, a new affiliate called (for the moment) AirAsia X (https://www.airasia.com/site/en/page.jsp?reference=aax_pr1) will start low-fare long haul service between Malaysia and points as far away as Europe.

Air India (https://home.airindia.in/) has a home page chock full of dancing, blinking flash animations that looks like an Asian bazaar (which, I suppose,
it is.) Site is oddly organized but has the usual stuff, online ticketing,
ops, destination info, and so forth. To buy tickets you have to register as a YATRIK (Your Airline Travel Reservation Internet Kit.) It's different in
India.

Air New Zealand (https://www.airnz.co.nz) offers schedules and booking via a private-label version of ITN/Getthere, which one time assured me that you
can't fly from Auckland to New York. It's better now, although it doesn't seem to find the best fares. Also special fares and frequent flyer info. Once
you're on the plane, though, the service is great, particularly those flat bed business class seats.

ANA (https://www.ana.co.jp/eng/int/) is Japan's #2 airline, flying both domestic and international routes. Site is not fancy but very functional with much better fare info than most airlines offer. Once you buy a ticket, don't miss the cute animated seat selector.

Ansett Australia (https://www.ansett.com.au) stopped flying in March 2002. But the web site has lots of tedious details of the financial dissection of the carcass.

Aerolineas Argentinas (https://www.aerolineas.com.ar) has schedules and reservations (for Argentine residents) through a private label version of Amadeus. In Spanish and English. I think it's flying this week, labor has been battling owner Iberia.

Cathay Pacific (https://www.cathay-usa.com), Hong Kong's airline, offers booking through ITN and a variety of special offers such as bonus AA frequent flyer miles or package deals to Asia.

El Al (https://www.elal.co.il) has U.S. schedules and some US-oriented package info. Appears to have on-line booking although I couldn't get it to work.

Emirates (https://www.emirates.com), the airline of Dubai, has an attractive site with info about schedules, packages and special offers, and requent flyer info. The on-line booking makes it easy to search by schedule, even among multiple days, somewhat possible to search by fare, and due to Javascript bugs I can't tell whether it actually sells tickets.

Gol (https://www.voegol.com.br) is a low-fare airline flying in Brazil and a few adjacent countries. Routes, fares, e-tickets, ground connections. Nice flash animation of flying pigs on the home page.

Kingfisher (https://www.flykingfisher.com/) flies throughout India and to London and a few cities in Asia. Service is supposed to be quite good,
although they're reported to be running out of money. Bright red web site has all the usual stuff.

Lan Chile (https://www.lanchile.cl) has an attractive multi-lingual site with schedules, fares, and some cheap Internet-only specials.

Malaysia Airlines (https://www.malaysiaairlines.com) has route and schedule information, with frequent special deals, but if you want to buy a ticket, you have to call them.

Pacific Blue (https://www.flypacificblue.com/) is a new bit of the Virgin empire that flying from New Zealand to Australia and other South Pacific
points and, later this year, domestically in New Zealand. The web site is basically the same as its ozzie parent Virgin Blue, with some really cheap introductory fares on their new routes.

Polynesian Airlines (https://www.polynesianairlines.co.nz/) has basic routes and schedules.

Qantas (https://www.qantas.com.au) has an attractive site with online booking, schedule info and flight ops and a downloadable off-line Windows itinerary manager. Bookings are oriented toward but not limited to Australian residents.

Royal Air Maroc (https://www.royalairmaroc.com/) has an attractive site with a fragile connection to Amadeus that will occasionally sell you a ticket.

* Are there many on-line agents?

There's lots of them, grouped below by location of the agent and type of service.

NOTE: All of the descriptions below are edited from info provided by the agencies themselves. There are many resources other than travel agents available on the net, as well, but they're not listed here. Most agencies
offer a broad range of services, so the groupings by type of service below are pretty arbitrary.

NOTE: If you're a travel agent and would like to be listed, drop me a note and I'll add you. Please make my life easier by e-mailing me a three-line or so description in the style above. Thanks.

European Travel Network (https://www.etn.nl/) has an extremely cluttered web site which lets you get discounted fare quotes from a variety of travel
agents. Also a link to ITN for regular booking. In March 2001 they sent mail
to me which looked to me to be spam, they swear that I'd left the address they spammed with a fare info request on their site a year earlier. I find that
very hard to believe, both because I don't recall visiting their site at all

Mytravellite (https://www.mytravellite.com/) is a low cost airline flying from Birmingham (UK) to Ireland and Spain. Schedules, reservations, destination info. Small discount offered for online booking.

Norwegian Airlines (https://www.norwegian.no) is a low cost airline flying
from Oslo to Norway and elsewhere in Europe. Site has reservations and info mostly translated from the Norwegian.

Olympic (https://www.olympicairlines.com/), the flag carrier of Greece, has a basic site with online booking.

Openskies (https://www.flyopenskies.com/) is a new subsidiary of British Airways that currently flies between Paris and New York, and Paris and Washington DC. They plan to add flights from other European cities. (It's
named after the treaty that lets them do that.) Spiffy site has the usual stuff; their premium economy gets rave reviews, close to biz class at much lower fares.

Ryanair (https://www.ryanair.ie) is a rapidly expanding low-fare airline with
a hub at London Stansted and minor hubs in London Luton, Dublin, Shannon, Glasgow, Brussels, Stockholm Skavsta, Frankfurt Hahn, and Milan Orio Al Serio. Web site offers routes, fares, and booking. Fares start at one cent but rarely stop there. Even with all the nuisance charges they're often quite cheap, and once you battle your way onto the plane, they generally run on time and rarely lose the bag you've paid them to check.

SAS (https://www.sas.se) has schedule info on-line, and in large downloadable text file. Windows interface program (2MB download) lets you search through
the schedule file, but it's far faster to search with a text editor. Also limited reservations for pass holders and frequent flyer redemptions.

Spanair (https://www.spanair.com/) is a Spanish regional airline that ran out of money and suddenly collapsed. Not currently recommended.

Swiss (https://www.swiss.com), the successor to Crossair, has schedule info
and on-line booking on a somewhat sloppy site, and some web specials. (Click Special Offers on the home page.) They're about to be taken over by Lufthansa, but it's not clear whether it'll continue to operate as a separate airline.

Swissair went bankrupt in September 2001 and their schedules have somewhat
been taken over by Swiss airlines.

Thomsonfly (https://flights.thomson.co.uk/en/index.html) is a low fare airline based in the UK offering flights to vacation destinations in central and southern Europe, north Africa, and the Americas. Site offers flights and package vacations.

Transavia (https://www.transavia.nl/en) is a subsidiary of KLM flying from Amsterdam to holiday destinations in Europe and north Africa. Info and online reservations. Their former low-cost subsidiary Basiqair is now merged into Transavia.

Virgin Atlantic (https://www.fly.virgin.com/) has a spiffy looking site with reservations, fares, and ticketing. Also tours and occasional specials.

VLM (https://www.vlm-airlines.com/) is a low-cost airline flying small planes mostly between the UK and Benelux. (The V stands for Flemish.) Schedules, reservations, company history. It's more or less the same airline as Citijet now, owned by Air France/KLM.

XL Airways (https://www.xl.com) flies from France and Germany to vacation destinations in southern Europe and north Africa, primarily package vacations. Dense, functional has all the stuff they offer. Their former parent, Excel Airways in the UK, is bankrupt, but spun off the continental parts which are still in business. For now, at least.

* Airlines elsewhere in the world

Afriqiyah (https://www.afriqiyah.aero/) flies a modern fleet from its home
base in Tripoli to Africa, Europe, and Asia. Snappy looking site offered the usual stuff, with online booking provided by Sabre but doesn't currently work.

Air Asia (https://www.airasia.com/) is a startup headquartered in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) offering low-fare single-class point to point service along the lines of JetBlue or Ryanair. They have some amazing intro fares, like round trip from Kuala Lumpur to Johor, across the bridge from Singamore, for RM78, about US$20. Online reservations, info, and a nice three page menu of onboard food offerings. I think I'll try the Asian egg salad sandwich. In September 2007, a new affiliate called (for the moment) AirAsia X (https://www.airasia.com/site/en/page.jsp?reference=aax_pr1) will start low-fare long haul service between Malaysia and points as far away as Europe.

Air India (https://home.airindia.in/) has a home page chock full of dancing, blinking flash animations that looks like an Asian bazaar (which, I suppose,
it is.) Site is oddly organized but has the usual stuff, online ticketing,
ops, destination info, and so forth. To buy tickets you have to register as a YATRIK (Your Airline Travel Reservation Internet Kit.) It's different in
India.

Air New Zealand (https://www.airnz.co.nz) offers schedules and booking via a private-label version of ITN/Getthere, which one time assured me that you
can't fly from Auckland to New York. It's better now, although it doesn't seem to find the best fares. Also special fares and frequent flyer info. Once
you're on the plane, though, the service is great, particularly those flat bed business class seats.

ANA (https://www.ana.co.jp/eng/int/) is Japan's #2 airline, flying both domestic and international routes. Site is not fancy but very functional with much better fare info than most airlines offer. Once you buy a ticket, don't miss the cute animated seat selector.

Ansett Australia (https://www.ansett.com.au) stopped flying in March 2002. But the web site has lots of tedious details of the financial dissection of the carcass.

Aerolineas Argentinas (https://www.aerolineas.com.ar) has schedules and reservations (for Argentine residents) through a private label version of Amadeus. In Spanish and English. I think it's flying this week, labor has been battling owner Iberia.

Cathay Pacific (https://www.cathay-usa.com), Hong Kong's airline, offers booking through ITN and a variety of special offers such as bonus AA frequent flyer miles or package deals to Asia.

El Al (https://www.elal.co.il) has U.S. schedules and some US-oriented package info. Appears to have on-line booking although I couldn't get it to work.

Emirates (https://www.emirates.com), the airline of Dubai, has an attractive site with info about schedules, packages and special offers, and requent flyer info. The on-line booking makes it easy to search by schedule, even among multiple days, somewhat possible to search by fare, and due to Javascript bugs I can't tell whether it actually sells tickets.

Gol (https://www.voegol.com.br) is a low-fare airline flying in Brazil and a few adjacent countries. Routes, fares, e-tickets, ground connections. Nice flash animation of flying pigs on the home page.

Kingfisher (https://www.flykingfisher.com/) flies throughout India and to London and a few cities in Asia. Service is supposed to be quite good,
although they're reported to be running out of money. Bright red web site has all the usual stuff.

Lan Chile (https://www.lanchile.cl) has an attractive multi-lingual site with schedules, fares, and some cheap Internet-only specials.

Malaysia Airlines (https://www.malaysiaairlines.com) has route and schedule information, with frequent special deals, but if you want to buy a ticket, you have to call them.

Pacific Blue (https://www.flypacificblue.com/) is a new bit of the Virgin empire that flying from New Zealand to Australia and other South Pacific
points and, later this year, domestically in New Zealand. The web site is basically the same as its ozzie parent Virgin Blue, with some really cheap introductory fares on their new routes.

Polynesian Airlines (https://www.polynesianairlines.co.nz/) has basic routes and schedules.

Qantas (https://www.qantas.com.au) has an attractive site with online booking, schedule info and flight ops and a downloadable off-line Windows itinerary manager. Bookings are oriented toward but not limited to Australian residents.

Royal Air Maroc (https://www.royalairmaroc.com/) has an attractive site with a fragile connection to Amadeus that will occasionally sell you a ticket. Site has a grab bag of other goodies such as detailed information on many airports they fly to (but none of the ones in Morocco), and the results of the 4th
World Executive Challenge golf tournament.

Royal Jordanian (https://www.rja.com.jo) has a stylish but slow web site with routes and schedules to and from their Amman hub.

Singapore Airlines (https://www.singaporeair.com) has schedule info, reservations, frequent flyer, and info on their new A380s. It's best viewed
via a server that will filter out anything that's unwholesome.

South African Airways (https://www.saa.co.za/saa) has schedules and a little destination info, but they've toned down the eye-straining graphics.
Occasional seat auctions.

Varig (https://www.varig.com.br), is now a subsidiary of low cost carrier Gol, the old Varig having run out of money and died a while ago. Web site entirely in Portugese has schedule info and reservations.

Virgin Blue (https://www.virginblue.com.au) is a low-fare domestic airline in Australia with its hub in sunny Brisbane. Schedules and on-line booking. Lunch costs extra.

There's lots of them, grouped below by location of the agent and type of service.

NOTE: All of the descriptions below are edited from info provided by the agencies themselves. There are many resources other than travel agents available on the net, as well, but they're not listed here. Most agencies

European Travel Network (https://www.etn.nl/) has an extremely cluttered web site which lets you get discounted fare quotes from a variety of travel
agents. Also a link to ITN for regular booking. In March 2001 they sent mail
to me which looked to me to be spam, they swear that I'd left the address they spammed with a fare info request on their site a year earlier. I find that
very hard to believe, both because I don't recall visiting their site at all

Mytravellite (https://www.mytravellite.com/) is a low cost airline flying from Birmingham (UK) to Ireland and Spain. Schedules, reservations, destination info. Small discount offered for online booking.

Norwegian Airlines (https://www.norwegian.no) is a low cost airline flying
from Oslo to Norway and elsewhere in Europe. Site has reservations and info mostly translated from the Norwegian.

Olympic (https://www.olympicairlines.com/), the flag carrier of Greece, has a basic site with online booking.

Openskies (https://www.flyopenskies.com/) is a new subsidiary of British Airways that currently flies between Paris and New York, and Paris and Washington DC. They plan to add flights from other European cities. (It's
named after the treaty that lets them do that.) Spiffy site has the usual stuff; their premium economy gets rave reviews, close to biz class at much lower fares.

Ryanair (https://www.ryanair.ie) is a rapidly expanding low-fare airline with
a hub at London Stansted and minor hubs in London Luton, Dublin, Shannon, Glasgow, Brussels, Stockholm Skavsta, Frankfurt Hahn, and Milan Orio Al Serio. Web site offers routes, fares, and booking. Fares start at one cent but rarely stop there. Even with all the nuisance charges they're often quite cheap, and once you battle your way onto the plane, they generally run on time and rarely lose the bag you've paid them to check.

SAS (https://www.sas.se) has schedule info on-line, and in large downloadable text file. Windows interface program (2MB download) lets you search through
the schedule file, but it's far faster to search with a text editor. Also limited reservations for pass holders and frequent flyer redemptions.

Spanair (https://www.spanair.com/) is a Spanish regional airline that ran out of money and suddenly collapsed. Not currently recommended.

Swiss (https://www.swiss.com), the successor to Crossair, has schedule info
and on-line booking on a somewhat sloppy site, and some web specials. (Click Special Offers on the home page.) They're about to be taken over by Lufthansa, but it's not clear whether it'll continue to operate as a separate airline.

Swissair went bankrupt in September 2001 and their schedules have somewhat
been taken over by Swiss airlines.

Thomsonfly (https://flights.thomson.co.uk/en/index.html) is a low fare airline based in the UK offering flights to vacation destinations in central and southern Europe, north Africa, and the Americas. Site offers flights and package vacations.

Transavia (https://www.transavia.nl/en) is a subsidiary of KLM flying from Amsterdam to holiday destinations in Europe and north Africa. Info and online reservations. Their former low-cost subsidiary Basiqair is now merged into Transavia.

Virgin Atlantic (https://www.fly.virgin.com/) has a spiffy looking site with reservations, fares, and ticketing. Also tours and occasional specials.

VLM (https://www.vlm-airlines.com/) is a low-cost airline flying small planes mostly between the UK and Benelux. (The V stands for Flemish.) Schedules, reservations, company history. It's more or less the same airline as Citijet now, owned by Air France/KLM.

XL Airways (https://www.xl.com) flies from France and Germany to vacation destinations in southern Europe and north Africa, primarily package vacations. Dense, functional has all the stuff they offer. Their former parent, Excel Airways in the UK, is bankrupt, but spun off the continental parts which are still in business. For now, at least.

* Airlines elsewhere in the world

Afriqiyah (https://www.afriqiyah.aero/) flies a modern fleet from its home
base in Tripoli to Africa, Europe, and Asia. Snappy looking site offered the usual stuff, with online booking provided by Sabre but doesn't currently work.

Air Asia (https://www.airasia.com/) is a startup headquartered in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) offering low-fare single-class point to point service along the lines of JetBlue or Ryanair. They have some amazing intro fares, like round trip from Kuala Lumpur to Johor, across the bridge from Singamore, for RM78, about US$20. Online reservations, info, and a nice three page menu of onboard food offerings. I think I'll try the Asian egg salad sandwich. In September 2007, a new affiliate called (for the moment) AirAsia X (https://www.airasia.com/site/en/page.jsp?reference=aax_pr1) will start low-fare long haul service between Malaysia and points as far away as Europe.

Air India (https://home.airindia.in/) has a home page chock full of dancing, blinking flash animations that looks like an Asian bazaar (which, I suppose,
it is.) Site is oddly organized but has the usual stuff, online ticketing,
ops, destination info, and so forth. To buy tickets you have to register as a YATRIK (Your Airline Travel Reservation Internet Kit.) It's different in
India.

Air New Zealand (https://www.airnz.co.nz) offers schedules and booking via a private-label version of ITN/Getthere, which one time assured me that you
can't fly from Auckland to New York. It's better now, although it doesn't seem to find the best fares. Also special fares and frequent flyer info. Once
you're on the plane, though, the service is great, particularly those flat bed business class seats.

ANA (https://www.ana.co.jp/eng/int/) is Japan's #2 airline, flying both domestic and international routes. Site is not fancy but very functional with much better fare info than most airlines offer. Once you buy a ticket, don't miss the cute animated seat selector.

Ansett Australia (https://www.ansett.com.au) stopped flying in March 2002. But the web site has lots of tedious details of the financial dissection of the carcass.

Aerolineas Argentinas (https://www.aerolineas.com.ar) has schedules and reservations (for Argentine residents) through a private label version of Amadeus. In Spanish and English. I think it's flying this week, labor has been battling owner Iberia.

Cathay Pacific (https://www.cathay-usa.com), Hong Kong's airline, offers booking through ITN and a variety of special offers such as bonus AA frequent flyer miles or package deals to Asia.

El Al (https://www.elal.co.il) has U.S. schedules and some US-oriented package info. Appears to have on-line booking although I couldn't get it to work.

Emirates (https://www.emirates.com), the airline of Dubai, has an attractive site with info about schedules, packages and special offers, and requent flyer info. The on-line booking makes it easy to search by schedule, even among multiple days, somewhat possible to search by fare, and due to Javascript bugs I can't tell whether it actually sells tickets.

Gol (https://www.voegol.com.br) is a low-fare airline flying in Brazil and a few adjacent countries. Routes, fares, e-tickets, ground connections. Nice flash animation of flying pigs on the home page.

Kingfisher (https://www.flykingfisher.com/) flies throughout India and to London and a few cities in Asia. Service is supposed to be quite good,
although they're reported to be running out of money. Bright red web site has all the usual stuff.

Lan Chile (https://www.lanchile.cl) has an attractive multi-lingual site with schedules, fares, and some cheap Internet-only specials.

Malaysia Airlines (https://www.malaysiaairlines.com) has route and schedule information, with frequent special deals, but if you want to buy a ticket, you have to call them.

Pacific Blue (https://www.flypacificblue.com/) is a new bit of the Virgin empire that flying from New Zealand to Australia and other South Pacific
points and, later this year, domestically in New Zealand. The web site is basically the same as its ozzie parent Virgin Blue, with some really cheap introductory fares on their new routes.

Polynesian Airlines (https://www.polynesianairlines.co.nz/) has basic routes and schedules.

Qantas (https://www.qantas.com.au) has an attractive site with online booking, schedule info and flight ops and a downloadable off-line Windows itinerary manager. Bookings are oriented toward but not limited to Australian residents.

Royal Air Maroc (https://www.royalairmaroc.com/) has an attractive site with a fragile connection to Amadeus that will occasionally sell you a ticket. Site has a grab bag of other goodies such as detailed information on many airports they fly to (but none of the ones in Morocco), and the results of the 4th
World Executive Challenge golf tournament.

Royal Jordanian (https://www.rja.com.jo) has a stylish but slow web site with routes and schedules to and from their Amman hub.

Singapore Airlines (https://www.singaporeair.com) has schedule info, reservations, frequent flyer, and info on their new A380s. It's best viewed
via a server that will filter out anything that's unwholesome.

South African Airways (https://www.saa.co.za/saa) has schedules and a little destination info, but they've toned down the eye-straining graphics.
Occasional seat auctions.

Varig (https://www.varig.com.br), is now a subsidiary of low cost carrier Gol, the old Varig having run out of money and died a while ago. Web site entirely in Portugese has schedule info and reservations.

Virgin Blue (https://www.virginblue.com.au) is a low-fare domestic airline in Australia with its hub in sunny Brisbane. Schedules and on-line booking. Lunch costs extra.


* Are there many on-line agents?

There's lots of them, grouped below by location of the agent and type of service.

NOTE: All of the descriptions below are edited from info provided by the agencies themselves. There are many resources other than travel agents available on the net, as well, but they're not listed here. Most agencies
offer a broad range of services, so the groupings by type of service below are pretty arbitrary.

NOTE: If you're a travel agent and would like to be listed, drop me a note and I'll add you. Please make my life easier by e-mailing me a three-line or so description in the style above. Thanks.

European Travel Network (https://www.etn.nl/) has an extremely cluttered web site which lets you get discounted fare quotes from a variety of travel
agents. Also a link to ITN for regular booking. In March 2001 they sent mail
to me which looked to me to be spam, they swear that I'd left the address they spammed with a fare info request on their site a year earlier. I find that
very hard to believe, both because I don't recall visiting their site at all

[continued from previous message]

Mytravellite (https://www.mytravellite.com/) is a low cost airline flying from Birmingham (UK) to Ireland and Spain. Schedules, reservations, destination info. Small discount offered for online booking.

Norwegian Airlines (https://www.norwegian.no) is a low cost airline flying
from Oslo to Norway and elsewhere in Europe. Site has reservations and info mostly translated from the Norwegian.

Olympic (https://www.olympicairlines.com/), the flag carrier of Greece, has a basic site with online booking.

Openskies (https://www.flyopenskies.com/) is a new subsidiary of British Airways that currently flies between Paris and New York, and Paris and Washington DC. They plan to add flights from other European cities. (It's
named after the treaty that lets them do that.) Spiffy site has the usual stuff; their premium economy gets rave reviews, close to biz class at much lower fares.

Ryanair (https://www.ryanair.ie) is a rapidly expanding low-fare airline with
a hub at London Stansted and minor hubs in London Luton, Dublin, Shannon, Glasgow, Brussels, Stockholm Skavsta, Frankfurt Hahn, and Milan Orio Al Serio. Web site offers routes, fares, and booking. Fares start at one cent but rarely stop there. Even with all the nuisance charges they're often quite cheap, and once you battle your way onto the plane, they generally run on time and rarely lose the bag you've paid them to check.

SAS (https://www.sas.se) has schedule info on-line, and in large downloadable text file. Windows interface program (2MB download) lets you search through
the schedule file, but it's far faster to search with a text editor. Also limited reservations for pass holders and frequent flyer redemptions.

Spanair (https://www.spanair.com/) is a Spanish regional airline that ran out of money and suddenly collapsed. Not currently recommended.

Swiss (https://www.swiss.com), the successor to Crossair, has schedule info
and on-line booking on a somewhat sloppy site, and some web specials. (Click Special Offers on the home page.) They're about to be taken over by Lufthansa, but it's not clear whether it'll continue to operate as a separate airline.

Swissair went bankrupt in September 2001 and their schedules have somewhat
been taken over by Swiss airlines.

Thomsonfly (https://flights.thomson.co.uk/en/index.html) is a low fare airline based in the UK offering flights to vacation destinations in central and southern Europe, north Africa, and the Americas. Site offers flights and package vacations.

Transavia (https://www.transavia.nl/en) is a subsidiary of KLM flying from Amsterdam to holiday destinations in Europe and north Africa. Info and online reservations. Their former low-cost subsidiary Basiqair is now merged into Transavia.

Virgin Atlantic (https://www.fly.virgin.com/) has a spiffy looking site with reservations, fares, and ticketing. Also tours and occasional specials.

VLM (https://www.vlm-airlines.com/) is a low-cost airline flying small planes mostly between the UK and Benelux. (The V stands for Flemish.) Schedules, reservations, company history. It's more or less the same airline as Citijet now, owned by Air France/KLM.

XL Airways (https://www.xl.com) flies from France and Germany to vacation destinations in southern Europe and north Africa, primarily package vacations. Dense, functional has all the stuff they offer. Their former parent, Excel Airways in the UK, is bankrupt, but spun off the continental parts which are still in business. For now, at least.

* Airlines elsewhere in the world

Afriqiyah (https://www.afriqiyah.aero/) flies a modern fleet from its home
base in Tripoli to Africa, Europe, and Asia. Snappy looking site offered the usual stuff, with online booking provided by Sabre but doesn't currently work.

Air Asia (https://www.airasia.com/) is a startup headquartered in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) offering low-fare single-class point to point service along the lines of JetBlue or Ryanair. They have some amazing intro fares, like round trip from Kuala Lumpur to Johor, across the bridge from Singamore, for RM78, about US$20. Online reservations, info, and a nice three page menu of onboard food offerings. I think I'll try the Asian egg salad sandwich. In September 2007, a new affiliate called (for the moment) AirAsia X (https://www.airasia.com/site/en/page.jsp?reference=aax_pr1) will start low-fare long haul service between Malaysia and points as far away as Europe.

Air India (https://home.airindia.in/) has a home page chock full of dancing, blinking flash animations that looks like an Asian bazaar (which, I suppose,
it is.) Site is oddly organized but has the usual stuff, online ticketing,
ops, destination info, and so forth. To buy tickets you have to register as a YATRIK (Your Airline Travel Reservation Internet Kit.) It's different in
India.

Air New Zealand (https://www.airnz.co.nz) offers schedules and booking via a private-label version of ITN/Getthere, which one time assured me that you
can't fly from Auckland to New York. It's better now, although it doesn't seem to find the best fares. Also special fares and frequent flyer info. Once
you're on the plane, though, the service is great, particularly those flat bed business class seats.

ANA (https://www.ana.co.jp/eng/int/) is Japan's #2 airline, flying both domestic and international routes. Site is not fancy but very functional with much better fare info than most airlines offer. Once you buy a ticket, don't miss the cute animated seat selector.

Ansett Australia (https://www.ansett.com.au) stopped flying in March 2002. But the web site has lots of tedious details of the financial dissection of the carcass.

Aerolineas Argentinas (https://www.aerolineas.com.ar) has schedules and reservations (for Argentine residents) through a private label version of Amadeus. In Spanish and English. I think it's flying this week, labor has been battling owner Iberia.

Cathay Pacific (https://www.cathay-usa.com), Hong Kong's airline, offers booking through ITN and a variety of special offers such as bonus AA frequent flyer miles or package deals to Asia.

El Al (https://www.elal.co.il) has U.S. schedules and some US-oriented package info. Appears to have on-line booking although I couldn't get it to work.

Emirates (https://www.emirates.com), the airline of Dubai, has an attractive site with info about schedules, packages and special offers, and requent flyer info. The on-line booking makes it easy to search by schedule, even among multiple days, somewhat possible to search by fare, and due to Javascript bugs I can't tell whether it actually sells tickets.

Gol (https://www.voegol.com.br) is a low-fare airline flying in Brazil and a few adjacent countries. Routes, fares, e-tickets, ground connections. Nice flash animation of flying pigs on the home page.

Kingfisher (https://www.flykingfisher.com/) flies throughout India and to London and a few cities in Asia. Service is supposed to be quite good,
although they're reported to be running out of money. Bright red web site has all the usual stuff.

Lan Chile (https://www.lanchile.cl) has an attractive multi-lingual site with schedules, fares, and some cheap Internet-only specials.

Malaysia Airlines (https://www.malaysiaairlines.com) has route and schedule information, with frequent special deals, but if you want to buy a ticket, you have to call them.

Pacific Blue (https://www.flypacificblue.com/) is a new bit of the Virgin empire that flying from New Zealand to Australia and other South Pacific
points and, later this year, domestically in New Zealand. The web site is basically the same as its ozzie parent Virgin Blue, with some really cheap introductory fares on their new routes.

Polynesian Airlines (https://www.polynesianairlines.co.nz/) has basic routes and schedules.

Qantas (https://www.qantas.com.au) has an attractive site with online booking, schedule info and flight ops and a downloadable off-line Windows itinerary manager. Bookings are oriented toward but not limited to Australian residents.

Royal Air Maroc (https://www.royalairmaroc.com/) has an attractive site with a fragile connection to Amadeus that will occasionally sell you a ticket. Site has a grab bag of other goodies such as detailed information on many airports they fly to (but none of the ones in Morocco), and the results of the 4th
World Executive Challenge golf tournament.

Royal Jordanian (https://www.rja.com.jo) has a stylish but slow web site with routes and schedules to and from their Amman hub.

Singapore Airlines (https://www.singaporeair.com) has schedule info, reservations, frequent flyer, and info on their new A380s. It's best viewed
via a server that will filter out anything that's unwholesome.

South African Airways (https://www.saa.co.za/saa) has schedules and a little destination info, but they've toned down the eye-straining graphics.
Occasional seat auctions.

Varig (https://www.varig.com.br), is now a subsidiary of low cost carrier Gol, the old Varig having run out of money and died a while ago. Web site entirely in Portugese has schedule info and reservations.

Virgin Blue (https://www.virginblue.com.au) is a low-fare domestic airline in Australia with its hub in sunny Brisbane. Schedules and on-line booking. Lunch costs extra.


* Are there many on-line agents?

There's lots of them, grouped below by location of the agent and type of service.

NOTE: All of the descriptions below are edited from info provided by the agencies themselves. There are many resources other than travel agents available on the net, as well, but they're not listed here. Most agencies
offer a broad range of services, so the groupings by type of service below are pretty arbitrary.

NOTE: If you're a travel agent and would like to be listed, drop me a note and I'll add you. Please make my life easier by e-mailing me a three-line or so description in the style above. Thanks.

European Travel Network (https://www.etn.nl/) has an extremely cluttered web site which lets you get discounted fare quotes from a variety of travel
agents. Also a link to ITN for regular booking. In March 2001 they sent mail
to me which looked to me to be spam, they swear that I'd left the address they spammed with a fare info request on their site a year earlier. I find that
very hard to believe, both because I don't recall visiting their site at all

[continued from previous message]

Mytravellite (https://www.mytravellite.com/) is a low cost airline flying from Birmingham (UK) to Ireland and Spain. Schedules, reservations, destination info. Small discount offered for online booking.

Norwegian Airlines (https://www.norwegian.no) is a low cost airline flying
from Oslo to Norway and elsewhere in Europe. Site has reservations and info mostly translated from the Norwegian.

Olympic (https://www.olympicairlines.com/), the flag carrier of Greece, has a basic site with online booking.

Openskies (https://www.flyopenskies.com/) is a new subsidiary of British Airways that currently flies between Paris and New York, and Paris and Washington DC. They plan to add flights from other European cities. (It's
named after the treaty that lets them do that.) Spiffy site has the usual stuff; their premium economy gets rave reviews, close to biz class at much lower fares.

Ryanair (https://www.ryanair.ie) is a rapidly expanding low-fare airline with
a hub at London Stansted and minor hubs in London Luton, Dublin, Shannon, Glasgow, Brussels, Stockholm Skavsta, Frankfurt Hahn, and Milan Orio Al Serio. Web site offers routes, fares, and booking. Fares start at one cent but rarely stop there. Even with all the nuisance charges they're often quite cheap, and once you battle your way onto the plane, they generally run on time and rarely lose the bag you've paid them to check.

SAS (https://www.sas.se) has schedule info on-line, and in large downloadable text file. Windows interface program (2MB download) lets you search through
the schedule file, but it's far faster to search with a text editor. Also limited reservations for pass holders and frequent flyer redemptions.

Spanair (https://www.spanair.com/) is a Spanish regional airline that ran out of money and suddenly collapsed. Not currently recommended.

Swiss (https://www.swiss.com), the successor to Crossair, has schedule info
and on-line booking on a somewhat sloppy site, and some web specials. (Click Special Offers on the home page.) They're about to be taken over by Lufthansa, but it's not clear whether it'll continue to operate as a separate airline.

Swissair went bankrupt in September 2001 and their schedules have somewhat
been taken over by Swiss airlines.

Thomsonfly (https://flights.thomson.co.uk/en/index.html) is a low fare airline based in the UK offering flights to vacation destinations in central and southern Europe, north Africa, and the Americas. Site offers flights and package vacations.

Transavia (https://www.transavia.nl/en) is a subsidiary of KLM flying from Amsterdam to holiday destinations in Europe and north Africa. Info and online reservations. Their former low-cost subsidiary Basiqair is now merged into Transavia.

Virgin Atlantic (https://www.fly.virgin.com/) has a spiffy looking site with reservations, fares, and ticketing. Also tours and occasional specials.

VLM (https://www.vlm-airlines.com/) is a low-cost airline flying small planes mostly between the UK and Benelux. (The V stands for Flemish.) Schedules, reservations, company history. It's more or less the same airline as Citijet now, owned by Air France/KLM.

XL Airways (https://www.xl.com) flies from France and Germany to vacation destinations in southern Europe and north Africa, primarily package vacations. Dense, functional has all the stuff they offer. Their former parent, Excel Airways in the UK, is bankrupt, but spun off the continental parts which are still in business. For now, at least.

* Airlines elsewhere in the world

Afriqiyah (https://www.afriqiyah.aero/) flies a modern fleet from its home
base in Tripoli to Africa, Europe, and Asia. Snappy looking site offered the usual stuff, with online booking provided by Sabre but doesn't currently work.

Air Asia (https://www.airasia.com/) is a startup headquartered in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) offering low-fare single-class point to point service along the lines of JetBlue or Ryanair. They have some amazing intro fares, like round trip from Kuala Lumpur to Johor, across the bridge from Singamore, for RM78, about US$20. Online reservations, info, and a nice three page menu of onboard food offerings. I think I'll try the Asian egg salad sandwich. In September 2007, a new affiliate called (for the moment) AirAsia X (https://www.airasia.com/site/en/page.jsp?reference=aax_pr1) will start low-fare long haul service between Malaysia and points as far away as Europe.

Air India (https://home.airindia.in/) has a home page chock full of dancing, blinking flash animations that looks like an Asian bazaar (which, I suppose,
it is.) Site is oddly organized but has the usual stuff, online ticketing,
ops, destination info, and so forth. To buy tickets you have to register as a YATRIK (Your Airline Travel Reservation Internet Kit.) It's different in
India.

Air New Zealand (https://www.airnz.co.nz) offers schedules and booking via a private-label version of ITN/Getthere, which one time assured me that you
can't fly from Auckland to New York. It's better now, although it doesn't seem to find the best fares. Also special fares and frequent flyer info. Once
you're on the plane, though, the service is great, particularly those flat bed business class seats.

ANA (https://www.ana.co.jp/eng/int/) is Japan's #2 airline, flying both domestic and international routes. Site is not fancy but very functional with much better fare info than most airlines offer. Once you buy a ticket, don't miss the cute animated seat selector.

Ansett Australia (https://www.ansett.com.au) stopped flying in March 2002. But the web site has lots of tedious details of the financial dissection of the carcass.

Aerolineas Argentinas (https://www.aerolineas.com.ar) has schedules and reservations (for Argentine residents) through a private label version of Amadeus. In Spanish and English. I think it's flying this week, labor has been battling owner Iberia.

Cathay Pacific (https://www.cathay-usa.com), Hong Kong's airline, offers booking through ITN and a variety of special offers such as bonus AA frequent flyer miles or package deals to Asia.

El Al (https://www.elal.co.il) has U.S. schedules and some US-oriented package info. Appears to have on-line booking although I couldn't get it to work.

Emirates (https://www.emirates.com), the airline of Dubai, has an attractive site with info about schedules, packages and special offers, and requent flyer info. The on-line booking makes it easy to search by schedule, even among multiple days, somewhat possible to search by fare, and due to Javascript bugs I can't tell whether it actually sells tickets.

Gol (https://www.voegol.com.br) is a low-fare airline flying in Brazil and a few adjacent countries. Routes, fares, e-tickets, ground connections. Nice flash animation of flying pigs on the home page.

Kingfisher (https://www.flykingfisher.com/) flies throughout India and to London and a few cities in Asia. Service is supposed to be quite good,
although they're reported to be running out of money. Bright red web site has all the usual stuff.

Lan Chile (https://www.lanchile.cl) has an attractive multi-lingual site with schedules, fares, and some cheap Internet-only specials.

Malaysia Airlines (https://www.malaysiaairlines.com) has route and schedule information, with frequent special deals, but if you want to buy a ticket, you have to call them.

Pacific Blue (https://www.flypacificblue.com/) is a new bit of the Virgin empire that flying from New Zealand to Australia and other South Pacific
points and, later this year, domestically in New Zealand. The web site is basically the same as its ozzie parent Virgin Blue, with some really cheap introductory fares on their new routes.

Polynesian Airlines (https://www.polynesianairlines.co.nz/) has basic routes and schedules.

Qantas (https://www.qantas.com.au) has an attractive site with online booking, schedule info and flight ops and a downloadable off-line Windows itinerary manager. Bookings are oriented toward but not limited to Australian residents.

Royal Air Maroc (https://www.royalairmaroc.com/) has an attractive site with a fragile connection to Amadeus that will occasionally sell you a ticket. Site has a grab bag of other goodies such as detailed information on many airports they fly to (but none of the ones in Morocco), and the results of the 4th
World Executive Challenge golf tournament.

Royal Jordanian (https://www.rja.com.jo) has a stylish but slow web site with routes and schedules to and from their Amman hub.

Singapore Airlines (https://www.singaporeair.com) has schedule info, reservations, frequent flyer, and info on their new A380s. It's best viewed
via a server that will filter out anything that's unwholesome.

South African Airways (https://www.saa.co.za/saa) has schedules and a little destination info, but they've toned down the eye-straining graphics.
Occasional seat auctions.

Varig (https://www.varig.com.br), is now a subsidiary of low cost carrier Gol, the old Varig having run out of money and died a while ago. Web site entirely in Portugese has schedule info and reservations.

Virgin Blue (https://www.virginblue.com.au) is a low-fare domestic airline in Australia with its hub in sunny Brisbane. Schedules and on-line booking. Lunch costs extra.


* Are there many on-line agents?

There's lots of them, grouped below by location of the agent and type of service.

NOTE: All of the descriptions below are edited from info provided by the agencies themselves. There are many resources other than travel agents available on the net, as well, but they're not listed here. Most agencies
offer a broad range of services, so the groupings by type of service below are pretty arbitrary.

NOTE: If you're a travel agent and would like to be listed, drop me a note and I'll add you. Please make my life easier by e-mailing me a three-line or so description in the style above. Thanks.

European Travel Network (https://www.etn.nl/) has an extremely cluttered web site which lets you get discounted fare quotes from a variety of travel
agents. Also a link to ITN for regular booking. In March 2001 they sent mail
to me which looked to me to be spam, they swear that I'd left the address they spammed with a fare info request on their site a year earlier. I find that
very hard to believe, both because I don't recall visiting their site at all

[continued from previous message]

Mytravellite (https://www.mytravellite.com/) is a low cost airline flying from Birmingham (UK) to Ireland and Spain. Schedules, reservations, destination info. Small discount offered for online booking.

Norwegian Airlines (https://www.norwegian.no) is a low cost airline flying
from Oslo to Norway and elsewhere in Europe. Site has reservations and info mostly translated from the Norwegian.

Olympic (https://www.olympicairlines.com/), the flag carrier of Greece, has a basic site with online booking.

Openskies (https://www.flyopenskies.com/) is a new subsidiary of British Airways that currently flies between Paris and New York, and Paris and Washington DC. They plan to add flights from other European cities. (It's
named after the treaty that lets them do that.) Spiffy site has the usual stuff; their premium economy gets rave reviews, close to biz class at much lower fares.

Ryanair (https://www.ryanair.ie) is a rapidly expanding low-fare airline with
a hub at London Stansted and minor hubs in London Luton, Dublin, Shannon, Glasgow, Brussels, Stockholm Skavsta, Frankfurt Hahn, and Milan Orio Al Serio. Web site offers routes, fares, and booking. Fares start at one cent but rarely stop there. Even with all the nuisance charges they're often quite cheap, and once you battle your way onto the plane, they generally run on time and rarely lose the bag you've paid them to check.

SAS (https://www.sas.se) has schedule info on-line, and in large downloadable text file. Windows interface program (2MB download) lets you search through
the schedule file, but it's far faster to search with a text editor. Also limited reservations for pass holders and frequent flyer redemptions.

Spanair (https://www.spanair.com/) is a Spanish regional airline that ran out of money and suddenly collapsed. Not currently recommended.

Swiss (https://www.swiss.com), the successor to Crossair, has schedule info
and on-line booking on a somewhat sloppy site, and some web specials. (Click Special Offers on the home page.) They're about to be taken over by Lufthansa, but it's not clear whether it'll continue to operate as a separate airline.

Swissair went bankrupt in September 2001 and their schedules have somewhat
been taken over by Swiss airlines.

Thomsonfly (https://flights.thomson.co.uk/en/index.html) is a low fare airline based in the UK offering flights to vacation destinations in central and southern Europe, north Africa, and the Americas. Site offers flights and package vacations.

Transavia (https://www.transavia.nl/en) is a subsidiary of KLM flying from Amsterdam to holiday destinations in Europe and north Africa. Info and online reservations. Their former low-cost subsidiary Basiqair is now merged into Transavia.

Virgin Atlantic (https://www.fly.virgin.com/) has a spiffy looking site with reservations, fares, and ticketing. Also tours and occasional specials.

VLM (https://www.vlm-airlines.com/) is a low-cost airline flying small planes mostly between the UK and Benelux. (The V stands for Flemish.) Schedules, reservations, company history. It's more or less the same airline as Citijet now, owned by Air France/KLM.

XL Airways (https://www.xl.com) flies from France and Germany to vacation destinations in southern Europe and north Africa, primarily package vacations. Dense, functional has all the stuff they offer. Their former parent, Excel Airways in the UK, is bankrupt, but spun off the continental parts which are still in business. For now, at least.

* Airlines elsewhere in the world

Afriqiyah (https://www.afriqiyah.aero/) flies a modern fleet from its home
base in Tripoli to Africa, Europe, and Asia. Snappy looking site offered the usual stuff, with online booking provided by Sabre but doesn't currently work.

Air Asia (https://www.airasia.com/) is a startup headquartered in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) offering low-fare single-class point to point service along the lines of JetBlue or Ryanair. They have some amazing intro fares, like round trip from Kuala Lumpur to Johor, across the bridge from Singamore, for RM78, about US$20. Online reservations, info, and a nice three page menu of onboard food offerings. I think I'll try the Asian egg salad sandwich. In September 2007, a new affiliate called (for the moment) AirAsia X (https://www.airasia.com/site/en/page.jsp?reference=aax_pr1) will start low-fare long haul service between Malaysia and points as far away as Europe.

Air India (https://home.airindia.in/) has a home page chock full of dancing, blinking flash animations that looks like an Asian bazaar (which, I suppose,
it is.) Site is oddly organized but has the usual stuff, online ticketing,
ops, destination info, and so forth. To buy tickets you have to register as a YATRIK (Your Airline Travel Reservation Internet Kit.) It's different in
India.

Air New Zealand (https://www.airnz.co.nz) offers schedules and booking via a private-label version of ITN/Getthere, which one time assured me that you
can't fly from Auckland to New York. It's better now, although it doesn't seem to find the best fares. Also special fares and frequent flyer info. Once
you're on the plane, though, the service is great, particularly those flat bed business class seats.

ANA (https://www.ana.co.jp/eng/int/) is Japan's #2 airline, flying both domestic and international routes. Site is not fancy but very functional with much better fare info than most airlines offer. Once you buy a ticket, don't miss the cute animated seat selector.

Ansett Australia (https://www.ansett.com.au) stopped flying in March 2002. But the web site has lots of tedious details of the financial dissection of the carcass.

Aerolineas Argentinas (https://www.aerolineas.com.ar) has schedules and reservations (for Argentine residents) through a private label version of Amadeus. In Spanish and English. I think it's flying this week, labor has been battling owner Iberia.

Cathay Pacific (https://www.cathay-usa.com), Hong Kong's airline, offers booking through ITN and a variety of special offers such as bonus AA frequent flyer miles or package deals to Asia.

El Al (https://www.elal.co.il) has U.S. schedules and some US-oriented package info. Appears to have on-line booking although I couldn't get it to work.

Emirates (https://www.emirates.com), the airline of Dubai, has an attractive site with info about schedules, packages and special offers, and requent flyer info. The on-line booking makes it easy to search by schedule, even among multiple days, somewhat possible to search by fare, and due to Javascript bugs I can't tell whether it actually sells tickets.

Gol (https://www.voegol.com.br) is a low-fare airline flying in Brazil and a few adjacent countries. Routes, fares, e-tickets, ground connections. Nice flash animation of flying pigs on the home page.

Kingfisher (https://www.flykingfisher.com/) flies throughout India and to London and a few cities in Asia. Service is supposed to be quite good,
although they're reported to be running out of money. Bright red web site has all the usual stuff.

Lan Chile (https://www.lanchile.cl) has an attractive multi-lingual site with schedules, fares, and some cheap Internet-only specials.

Malaysia Airlines (https://www.malaysiaairlines.com) has route and schedule information, with frequent special deals, but if you want to buy a ticket, you have to call them.

Pacific Blue (https://www.flypacificblue.com/) is a new bit of the Virgin empire that flying from New Zealand to Australia and other South Pacific
points and, later this year, domestically in New Zealand. The web site is basically the same as its ozzie parent Virgin Blue, with some really cheap introductory fares on their new routes.

Polynesian Airlines (https://www.polynesianairlines.co.nz/) has basic routes and schedules.

Qantas (https://www.qantas.com.au) has an attractive site with online booking, schedule info and flight ops and a downloadable off-line Windows itinerary manager. Bookings are oriented toward but not limited to Australian residents.

Royal Air Maroc (https://www.royalairmaroc.com/) has an attractive site with a fragile connection to Amadeus that will occasionally sell you a ticket. Site has a grab bag of other goodies such as detailed information on many airports they fly to (but none of the ones in Morocco), and the results of the 4th
World Executive Challenge golf tournament.

Royal Jordanian (https://www.rja.com.jo) has a stylish but slow web site with routes and schedules to and from their Amman hub.

Singapore Airlines (https://www.singaporeair.com) has schedule info, reservations, frequent flyer, and info on their new A380s. It's best viewed
via a server that will filter out anything that's unwholesome.

South African Airways (https://www.saa.co.za/saa) has schedules and a little destination info, but they've toned down the eye-straining graphics.
Occasional seat auctions.

Varig (https://www.varig.com.br), is now a subsidiary of low cost carrier Gol, the old Varig having run out of money and died a while ago. Web site entirely in Portugese has schedule info and reservations.

Virgin Blue (https://www.virginblue.com.au) is a low-fare domestic airline in Australia with its hub in sunny Brisbane. Schedules and on-line booking. Lunch costs extra.


* Are there many on-line agents?

There's lots of them, grouped below by location of the agent and type of service.

NOTE: All of the descriptions below are edited from info provided by the agencies themselves. There are many resources other than travel agents available on the net, as well, but they're not listed here. Most agencies
offer a broad range of services, so the groupings by type of service below are pretty arbitrary.

European Travel Network (https://www.etn.nl/) has an extremely cluttered web site which lets you get discounted fare quotes from a variety of travel
agents. Also a link to ITN for regular booking. In March 2001 they sent mail
to me which looked to me to be spam, they swear that I'd left the address they spammed with a fare info request on their site a year earlier. I find that
very hard to believe, both because I don't recall visiting their site at all

[continued from previous message]

Mytravellite (https://www.mytravellite.com/) is a low cost airline flying from Birmingham (UK) to Ireland and Spain. Schedules, reservations, destination info. Small discount offered for online booking.

Norwegian Airlines (https://www.norwegian.no) is a low cost airline flying
from Oslo to Norway and elsewhere in Europe. Site has reservations and info mostly translated from the Norwegian.

Olympic (https://www.olympicairlines.com/), the flag carrier of Greece, has a basic site with online booking.

Openskies (https://www.flyopenskies.com/) is a new subsidiary of British Airways that currently flies between Paris and New York, and Paris and Washington DC. They plan to add flights from other European cities. (It's
named after the treaty that lets them do that.) Spiffy site has the usual stuff; their premium economy gets rave reviews, close to biz class at much lower fares.

Ryanair (https://www.ryanair.ie) is a rapidly expanding low-fare airline with
a hub at London Stansted and minor hubs in London Luton, Dublin, Shannon, Glasgow, Brussels, Stockholm Skavsta, Frankfurt Hahn, and Milan Orio Al Serio. Web site offers routes, fares, and booking. Fares start at one cent but rarely stop there. Even with all the nuisance charges they're often quite cheap, and once you battle your way onto the plane, they generally run on time and rarely lose the bag you've paid them to check.

SAS (https://www.sas.se) has schedule info on-line, and in large downloadable text file. Windows interface program (2MB download) lets you search through
the schedule file, but it's far faster to search with a text editor. Also limited reservations for pass holders and frequent flyer redemptions.

Spanair (https://www.spanair.com/) is a Spanish regional airline that ran out of money and suddenly collapsed. Not currently recommended.

Swiss (https://www.swiss.com), the successor to Crossair, has schedule info
and on-line booking on a somewhat sloppy site, and some web specials. (Click Special Offers on the home page.) They're about to be taken over by Lufthansa, but it's not clear whether it'll continue to operate as a separate airline.

Swissair went bankrupt in September 2001 and their schedules have somewhat
been taken over by Swiss airlines.

Thomsonfly (https://flights.thomson.co.uk/en/index.html) is a low fare airline based in the UK offering flights to vacation destinations in central and southern Europe, north Africa, and the Americas. Site offers flights and package vacations.

Transavia (https://www.transavia.nl/en) is a subsidiary of KLM flying from Amsterdam to holiday destinations in Europe and north Africa. Info and online reservations. Their former low-cost subsidiary Basiqair is now merged into Transavia.

Virgin Atlantic (https://www.fly.virgin.com/) has a spiffy looking site with reservations, fares, and ticketing. Also tours and occasional specials.

VLM (https://www.vlm-airlines.com/) is a low-cost airline flying small planes mostly between the UK and Benelux. (The V stands for Flemish.) Schedules, reservations, company history. It's more or less the same airline as Citijet now, owned by Air France/KLM.

XL Airways (https://www.xl.com) flies from France and Germany to vacation destinations in southern Europe and north Africa, primarily package vacations. Dense, functional has all the stuff they offer. Their former parent, Excel Airways in the UK, is bankrupt, but spun off the continental parts which are still in business. For now, at least.

* Airlines elsewhere in the world

Afriqiyah (https://www.afriqiyah.aero/) flies a modern fleet from its home
base in Tripoli to Africa, Europe, and Asia. Snappy looking site offered the usual stuff, with online booking provided by Sabre but doesn't currently work.

Air Asia (https://www.airasia.com/) is a startup headquartered in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) offering low-fare single-class point to point service along the lines of JetBlue or Ryanair. They have some amazing intro fares, like round trip from Kuala Lumpur to Johor, across the bridge from Singamore, for RM78, about US$20. Online reservations, info, and a nice three page menu of onboard food offerings. I think I'll try the Asian egg salad sandwich. In September 2007, a new affiliate called (for the moment) AirAsia X (https://www.airasia.com/site/en/page.jsp?reference=aax_pr1) will start low-fare long haul service between Malaysia and points as far away as Europe.

Air India (https://home.airindia.in/) has a home page chock full of dancing, blinking flash animations that looks like an Asian bazaar (which, I suppose,
it is.) Site is oddly organized but has the usual stuff, online ticketing,
ops, destination info, and so forth. To buy tickets you have to register as a YATRIK (Your Airline Travel Reservation Internet Kit.) It's different in
India.

Air New Zealand (https://www.airnz.co.nz) offers schedules and booking via a private-label version of ITN/Getthere, which one time assured me that you
can't fly from Auckland to New York. It's better now, although it doesn't seem to find the best fares. Also special fares and frequent flyer info. Once
you're on the plane, though, the service is great, particularly those flat bed business class seats.

ANA (https://www.ana.co.jp/eng/int/) is Japan's #2 airline, flying both domestic and international routes. Site is not fancy but very functional with much better fare info than most airlines offer. Once you buy a ticket, don't miss the cute animated seat selector.

Ansett Australia (https://www.ansett.com.au) stopped flying in March 2002. But the web site has lots of tedious details of the financial dissection of the carcass.

Aerolineas Argentinas (https://www.aerolineas.com.ar) has schedules and reservations (for Argentine residents) through a private label version of Amadeus. In Spanish and English. I think it's flying this week, labor has been battling owner Iberia.

Cathay Pacific (https://www.cathay-usa.com), Hong Kong's airline, offers booking through ITN and a variety of special offers such as bonus AA frequent flyer miles or package deals to Asia.

El Al (https://www.elal.co.il) has U.S. schedules and some US-oriented package info. Appears to have on-line booking although I couldn't get it to work.

Emirates (https://www.emirates.com), the airline of Dubai, has an attractive site with info about schedules, packages and special offers, and requent flyer info. The on-line booking makes it easy to search by schedule, even among multiple days, somewhat possible to search by fare, and due to Javascript bugs I can't tell whether it actually sells tickets.

Gol (https://www.voegol.com.br) is a low-fare airline flying in Brazil and a few adjacent countries. Routes, fares, e-tickets, ground connections. Nice flash animation of flying pigs on the home page.

Kingfisher (https://www.flykingfisher.com/) flies throughout India and to London and a few cities in Asia. Service is supposed to be quite good,
although they're reported to be running out of money. Bright red web site has all the usual stuff.

Lan Chile (https://www.lanchile.cl) has an attractive multi-lingual site with schedules, fares, and some cheap Internet-only specials.

Malaysia Airlines (https://www.malaysiaairlines.com) has route and schedule information, with frequent special deals, but if you want to buy a ticket, you have to call them.

Pacific Blue (https://www.flypacificblue.com/) is a new bit of the Virgin empire that flying from New Zealand to Australia and other South Pacific
points and, later this year, domestically in New Zealand. The web site is basically the same as its ozzie parent Virgin Blue, with some really cheap introductory fares on their new routes.

Polynesian Airlines (https://www.polynesianairlines.co.nz/) has basic routes and schedules.

Qantas (https://www.qantas.com.au) has an attractive site with online booking, schedule info and flight ops and a downloadable off-line Windows itinerary manager. Bookings are oriented toward but not limited to Australian residents.

Royal Air Maroc (https://www.royalairmaroc.com/) has an attractive site with a fragile connection to Amadeus that will occasionally sell you a ticket. Site has a grab bag of other goodies such as detailed information on many airports they fly to (but none of the ones in Morocco), and the results of the 4th
World Executive Challenge golf tournament.

Royal Jordanian (https://www.rja.com.jo) has a stylish but slow web site with routes and schedules to and from their Amman hub.

Singapore Airlines (https://www.singaporeair.com) has schedule info, reservations, frequent flyer, and info on their new A380s. It's best viewed
via a server that will filter out anything that's unwholesome.

South African Airways (https://www.saa.co.za/saa) has schedules and a little destination info, but they've toned down the eye-straining graphics.
Occasional seat auctions.

Varig (https://www.varig.com.br), is now a subsidiary of low cost carrier Gol, the old Varig having run out of money and died a while ago. Web site entirely in Portugese has schedule info and reservations.

Virgin Blue (https://www.virginblue.com.au) is a low-fare domestic airline in Australia with its hub in sunny Brisbane. Schedules and on-line booking. Lunch costs extra.


* Are there many on-line agents?

There's lots of them, grouped below by location of the agent and type of service.

NOTE: All of the descriptions below are edited from info provided by the agencies themselves. There are many resources other than travel agents available on the net, as well, but they're not listed here. Most agencies
offer a broad range of services, so the groupings by type of service below are pretty arbitrary.

European Travel Network (https://www.etn.nl/) has an extremely cluttered web site which lets you get discounted fare quotes from a variety of travel
agents. Also a link to ITN for regular booking. In March 2001 they sent mail
to me which looked to me to be spam, they swear that I'd left the address they spammed with a fare info request on their site a year earlier. I find that
very hard to believe, both because I don't recall visiting their site at all

[continued from previous message]

Mytravellite (https://www.mytravellite.com/) is a low cost airline flying from Birmingham (UK) to Ireland and Spain. Schedules, reservations, destination info. Small discount offered for online booking.

Norwegian Airlines (https://www.norwegian.no) is a low cost airline flying
from Oslo to Norway and elsewhere in Europe. Site has reservations and info mostly translated from the Norwegian.

Olympic (https://www.olympicairlines.com/), the flag carrier of Greece, has a basic site with online booking.

Openskies (https://www.flyopenskies.com/) is a new subsidiary of British Airways that currently flies between Paris and New York, and Paris and Washington DC. They plan to add flights from other European cities. (It's
named after the treaty that lets them do that.) Spiffy site has the usual stuff; their premium economy gets rave reviews, close to biz class at much lower fares.

Ryanair (https://www.ryanair.ie) is a rapidly expanding low-fare airline with
a hub at London Stansted and minor hubs in London Luton, Dublin, Shannon, Glasgow, Brussels, Stockholm Skavsta, Frankfurt Hahn, and Milan Orio Al Serio. Web site offers routes, fares, and booking. Fares start at one cent but rarely stop there. Even with all the nuisance charges they're often quite cheap, and once you battle your way onto the plane, they generally run on time and rarely lose the bag you've paid them to check.

SAS (https://www.sas.se) has schedule info on-line, and in large downloadable text file. Windows interface program (2MB download) lets you search through
the schedule file, but it's far faster to search with a text editor. Also limited reservations for pass holders and frequent flyer redemptions.

Spanair (https://www.spanair.com/) is a Spanish regional airline that ran out of money and suddenly collapsed. Not currently recommended.

Swiss (https://www.swiss.com), the successor to Crossair, has schedule info
and on-line booking on a somewhat sloppy site, and some web specials. (Click Special Offers on the home page.) They're about to be taken over by Lufthansa, but it's not clear whether it'll continue to operate as a separate airline.

Swissair went bankrupt in September 2001 and their schedules have somewhat
been taken over by Swiss airlines.

Thomsonfly (https://flights.thomson.co.uk/en/index.html) is a low fare airline based in the UK offering flights to vacation destinations in central and southern Europe, north Africa, and the Americas. Site offers flights and package vacations.

Transavia (https://www.transavia.nl/en) is a subsidiary of KLM flying from Amsterdam to holiday destinations in Europe and north Africa. Info and online reservations. Their former low-cost subsidiary Basiqair is now merged into Transavia.

Virgin Atlantic (https://www.fly.virgin.com/) has a spiffy looking site with reservations, fares, and ticketing. Also tours and occasional specials.

VLM (https://www.vlm-airlines.com/) is a low-cost airline flying small planes mostly between the UK and Benelux. (The V stands for Flemish.) Schedules, reservations, company history. It's more or less the same airline as Citijet now, owned by Air France/KLM.

XL Airways (https://www.xl.com) flies from France and Germany to vacation destinations in southern Europe and north Africa, primarily package vacations. Dense, functional has all the stuff they offer. Their former parent, Excel Airways in the UK, is bankrupt, but spun off the continental parts which are still in business. For now, at least.

* Airlines elsewhere in the world

Afriqiyah (https://www.afriqiyah.aero/) flies a modern fleet from its home
base in Tripoli to Africa, Europe, and Asia. Snappy looking site offered the usual stuff, with online booking provided by Sabre but doesn't currently work.

Air Asia (https://www.airasia.com/) is a startup headquartered in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) offering low-fare single-class point to point service along the lines of JetBlue or Ryanair. They have some amazing intro fares, like round trip from Kuala Lumpur to Johor, across the bridge from Singamore, for RM78, about US$20. Online reservations, info, and a nice three page menu of onboard food offerings. I think I'll try the Asian egg salad sandwich. In September 2007, a new affiliate called (for the moment) AirAsia X (https://www.airasia.com/site/en/page.jsp?reference=aax_pr1) will start low-fare long haul service between Malaysia and points as far away as Europe.

Air India (https://home.airindia.in/) has a home page chock full of dancing, blinking flash animations that looks like an Asian bazaar (which, I suppose,
it is.) Site is oddly organized but has the usual stuff, online ticketing,
ops, destination info, and so forth. To buy tickets you have to register as a YATRIK (Your Airline Travel Reservation Internet Kit.) It's different in
India.

Air New Zealand (https://www.airnz.co.nz) offers schedules and booking via a private-label version of ITN/Getthere, which one time assured me that you
can't fly from Auckland to New York. It's better now, although it doesn't seem to find the best fares. Also special fares and frequent flyer info. Once
you're on the plane, though, the service is great, particularly those flat bed business class seats.

ANA (https://www.ana.co.jp/eng/int/) is Japan's #2 airline, flying both domestic and international routes. Site is not fancy but very functional with much better fare info than most airlines offer. Once you buy a ticket, don't miss the cute animated seat selector.

Ansett Australia (https://www.ansett.com.au) stopped flying in March 2002. But the web site has lots of tedious details of the financial dissection of the carcass.

Aerolineas Argentinas (https://www.aerolineas.com.ar) has schedules and reservations (for Argentine residents) through a private label version of Amadeus. In Spanish and English. I think it's flying this week, labor has been battling owner Iberia.

Cathay Pacific (https://www.cathay-usa.com), Hong Kong's airline, offers booking through ITN and a variety of special offers such as bonus AA frequent flyer miles or package deals to Asia.

El Al (https://www.elal.co.il) has U.S. schedules and some US-oriented package info. Appears to have on-line booking although I couldn't get it to work.

Emirates (https://www.emirates.com), the airline of Dubai, has an attractive site with info about schedules, packages and special offers, and requent flyer info. The on-line booking makes it easy to search by schedule, even among multiple days, somewhat possible to search by fare, and due to Javascript bugs I can't tell whether it actually sells tickets.

Gol (https://www.voegol.com.br) is a low-fare airline flying in Brazil and a few adjacent countries. Routes, fares, e-tickets, ground connections. Nice flash animation of flying pigs on the home page.

Kingfisher (https://www.flykingfisher.com/) flies throughout India and to London and a few cities in Asia. Service is supposed to be quite good,
although they're reported to be running out of money. Bright red web site has all the usual stuff.

Lan Chile (https://www.lanchile.cl) has an attractive multi-lingual site with schedules, fares, and some cheap Internet-only specials.

Malaysia Airlines (https://www.malaysiaairlines.com) has route and schedule information, with frequent special deals, but if you want to buy a ticket, you have to call them.

Pacific Blue (https://www.flypacificblue.com/) is a new bit of the Virgin empire that flying from New Zealand to Australia and other South Pacific
points and, later this year, domestically in New Zealand. The web site is basically the same as its ozzie parent Virgin Blue, with some really cheap introductory fares on their new routes.

Polynesian Airlines (https://www.polynesianairlines.co.nz/) has basic routes and schedules.

Qantas (https://www.qantas.com.au) has an attractive site with online booking, schedule info and flight ops and a downloadable off-line Windows itinerary manager. Bookings are oriented toward but not limited to Australian residents.

Royal Air Maroc (https://www.royalairmaroc.com/) has an attractive site with a fragile connection to Amadeus that will occasionally sell you a ticket. Site has a grab bag of other goodies such as detailed information on many airports they fly to (but none of the ones in Morocco), and the results of the 4th
World Executive Challenge golf tournament.

Royal Jordanian (https://www.rja.com.jo) has a stylish but slow web site with routes and schedules to and from their Amman hub.

Singapore Airlines (https://www.singaporeair.com) has schedule info, reservations, frequent flyer, and info on their new A380s. It's best viewed
via a server that will filter out anything that's unwholesome.

South African Airways (https://www.saa.co.za/saa) has schedules and a little destination info, but they've toned down the eye-straining graphics.
Occasional seat auctions.

Varig (https://www.varig.com.br), is now a subsidiary of low cost carrier Gol, the old Varig having run out of money and died a while ago. Web site entirely in Portugese has schedule info and reservations.

Virgin Blue (https://www.virginblue.com.au) is a low-fare domestic airline in Australia with its hub in sunny Brisbane. Schedules and on-line booking. Lunch costs extra.


* Are there many on-line agents?

There's lots of them, grouped below by location of the agent and type of service.

NOTE: All of the descriptions below are edited from info provided by the agencies themselves. There are many resources other than travel agents available on the net, as well, but they're not listed here. Most agencies
offer a broad range of services, so the groupings by type of service below are pretty arbitrary.

European Travel Network (https://www.etn.nl/) has an extremely cluttered web site which lets you get discounted fare quotes from a variety of travel
agents. Also a link to ITN for regular booking. In March 2001 they sent mail
to me which looked to me to be spam, they swear that I'd left the address they spammed with a fare info request on their site a year earlier. I find that
very hard to believe, both because I don't recall visiting their site at all

[continued from previous message]

Mytravellite (https://www.mytravellite.com/) is a low cost airline flying from Birmingham (UK) to Ireland and Spain. Schedules, reservations, destination info. Small discount offered for online booking.

Norwegian Airlines (https://www.norwegian.no) is a low cost airline flying
from Oslo to Norway and elsewhere in Europe. Site has reservations and info mostly translated from the Norwegian.

Olympic (https://www.olympicairlines.com/), the flag carrier of Greece, has a basic site with online booking.

Openskies (https://www.flyopenskies.com/) is a new subsidiary of British Airways that currently flies between Paris and New York, and Paris and Washington DC. They plan to add flights from other European cities. (It's
named after the treaty that lets them do that.) Spiffy site has the usual stuff; their premium economy gets rave reviews, close to biz class at much lower fares.

Ryanair (https://www.ryanair.ie) is a rapidly expanding low-fare airline with
a hub at London Stansted and minor hubs in London Luton, Dublin, Shannon, Glasgow, Brussels, Stockholm Skavsta, Frankfurt Hahn, and Milan Orio Al Serio. Web site offers routes, fares, and booking. Fares start at one cent but rarely stop there. Even with all the nuisance charges they're often quite cheap, and once you battle your way onto the plane, they generally run on time and rarely lose the bag you've paid them to check.

SAS (https://www.sas.se) has schedule info on-line, and in large downloadable text file. Windows interface program (2MB download) lets you search through
the schedule file, but it's far faster to search with a text editor. Also limited reservations for pass holders and frequent flyer redemptions.

Spanair (https://www.spanair.com/) is a Spanish regional airline that ran out of money and suddenly collapsed. Not currently recommended.

Swiss (https://www.swiss.com), the successor to Crossair, has schedule info
and on-line booking on a somewhat sloppy site, and some web specials. (Click Special Offers on the home page.) They're about to be taken over by Lufthansa, but it's not clear whether it'll continue to operate as a separate airline.

Swissair went bankrupt in September 2001 and their schedules have somewhat
been taken over by Swiss airlines.

Thomsonfly (https://flights.thomson.co.uk/en/index.html) is a low fare airline based in the UK offering flights to vacation destinations in central and southern Europe, north Africa, and the Americas. Site offers flights and package vacations.

Transavia (https://www.transavia.nl/en) is a subsidiary of KLM flying from Amsterdam to holiday destinations in Europe and north Africa. Info and online reservations. Their former low-cost subsidiary Basiqair is now merged into Transavia.

Virgin Atlantic (https://www.fly.virgin.com/) has a spiffy looking site with reservations, fares, and ticketing. Also tours and occasional specials.

VLM (https://www.vlm-airlines.com/) is a low-cost airline flying small planes mostly between the UK and Benelux. (The V stands for Flemish.) Schedules, reservations, company history. It's more or less the same airline as Citijet now, owned by Air France/KLM.

XL Airways (https://www.xl.com) flies from France and Germany to vacation destinations in southern Europe and north Africa, primarily package vacations. Dense, functional has all the stuff they offer. Their former parent, Excel Airways in the UK, is bankrupt, but spun off the continental parts which are still in business. For now, at least.

* Airlines elsewhere in the world

Afriqiyah (https://www.afriqiyah.aero/) flies a modern fleet from its home
base in Tripoli to Africa, Europe, and Asia. Snappy looking site offered the usual stuff, with online booking provided by Sabre but doesn't currently work.

Air Asia (https://www.airasia.com/) is a startup headquartered in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) offering low-fare single-class point to point service along the lines of JetBlue or Ryanair. They have some amazing intro fares, like round trip from Kuala Lumpur to Johor, across the bridge from Singamore, for RM78, about US$20. Online reservations, info, and a nice three page menu of onboard food offerings. I think I'll try the Asian egg salad sandwich. In September 2007, a new affiliate called (for the moment) AirAsia X (https://www.airasia.com/site/en/page.jsp?reference=aax_pr1) will start low-fare long haul service between Malaysia and points as far away as Europe.

Air India (https://home.airindia.in/) has a home page chock full of dancing, blinking flash animations that looks like an Asian bazaar (which, I suppose,
it is.) Site is oddly organized but has the usual stuff, online ticketing,
ops, destination info, and so forth. To buy tickets you have to register as a YATRIK (Your Airline Travel Reservation Internet Kit.) It's different in
India.

Air New Zealand (https://www.airnz.co.nz) offers schedules and booking via a private-label version of ITN/Getthere, which one time assured me that you
can't fly from Auckland to New York. It's better now, although it doesn't seem to find the best fares. Also special fares and frequent flyer info. Once
you're on the plane, though, the service is great, particularly those flat bed business class seats.

ANA (https://www.ana.co.jp/eng/int/) is Japan's #2 airline, flying both domestic and international routes. Site is not fancy but very functional with much better fare info than most airlines offer. Once you buy a ticket, don't miss the cute animated seat selector.

Ansett Australia (https://www.ansett.com.au) stopped flying in March 2002. But the web site has lots of tedious details of the financial dissection of the carcass.

Aerolineas Argentinas (https://www.aerolineas.com.ar) has schedules and reservations (for Argentine residents) through a private label version of Amadeus. In Spanish and English. I think it's flying this week, labor has been battling owner Iberia.

Cathay Pacific (https://www.cathay-usa.com), Hong Kong's airline, offers booking through ITN and a variety of special offers such as bonus AA frequent flyer miles or package deals to Asia.

El Al (https://www.elal.co.il) has U.S. schedules and some US-oriented package info. Appears to have on-line booking although I couldn't get it to work.

Emirates (https://www.emirates.com), the airline of Dubai, has an attractive site with info about schedules, packages and special offers, and requent flyer info. The on-line booking makes it easy to search by schedule, even among multiple days, somewhat possible to search by fare, and due to Javascript bugs I can't tell whether it actually sells tickets.

Gol (https://www.voegol.com.br) is a low-fare airline flying in Brazil and a few adjacent countries. Routes, fares, e-tickets, ground connections. Nice flash animation of flying pigs on the home page.

Kingfisher (https://www.flykingfisher.com/) flies throughout India and to London and a few cities in Asia. Service is supposed to be quite good,
although they're reported to be running out of money. Bright red web site has all the usual stuff.

Lan Chile (https://www.lanchile.cl) has an attractive multi-lingual site with schedules, fares, and some cheap Internet-only specials.

Malaysia Airlines (https://www.malaysiaairlines.com) has route and schedule information, with frequent special deals, but if you want to buy a ticket, you have to call them.

Pacific Blue (https://www.flypacificblue.com/) is a new bit of the Virgin empire that flying from New Zealand to Australia and other South Pacific
points and, later this year, domestically in New Zealand. The web site is basically the same as its ozzie parent Virgin Blue, with some really cheap introductory fares on their new routes.

Polynesian Airlines (https://www.polynesianairlines.co.nz/) has basic routes and schedules.

Qantas (https://www.qantas.com.au) has an attractive site with online booking, schedule info and flight ops and a downloadable off-line Windows itinerary manager. Bookings are oriented toward but not limited to Australian residents.

Royal Air Maroc (https://www.royalairmaroc.com/) has an attractive site with a fragile connection to Amadeus that will occasionally sell you a ticket. Site has a grab bag of other goodies such as detailed information on many airports they fly to (but none of the ones in Morocco), and the results of the 4th
World Executive Challenge golf tournament.

Royal Jordanian (https://www.rja.com.jo) has a stylish but slow web site with routes and schedules to and from their Amman hub.

Singapore Airlines (https://www.singaporeair.com) has schedule info, reservations, frequent flyer, and info on their new A380s. It's best viewed
via a server that will filter out anything that's unwholesome.

South African Airways (https://www.saa.co.za/saa) has schedules and a little destination info, but they've toned down the eye-straining graphics.
Occasional seat auctions.

Varig (https://www.varig.com.br), is now a subsidiary of low cost carrier Gol, the old Varig having run out of money and died a while ago. Web site entirely in Portugese has schedule info and reservations.

Virgin Blue (https://www.virginblue.com.au) is a low-fare domestic airline in Australia with its hub in sunny Brisbane. Schedules and on-line booking. Lunch costs extra.


* Are there many on-line agents?

There's lots of them, grouped below by location of the agent and type of service.

NOTE: All of the descriptions below are edited from info provided by the agencies themselves. There are many resources other than travel agents available on the net, as well, but they're not listed here. Most agencies
offer a broad range of services, so the groupings by type of service below are pretty arbitrary.

European Travel Network (https://www.etn.nl/) has an extremely cluttered web site which lets you get discounted fare quotes from a variety of travel
agents. Also a link to ITN for regular booking. In March 2001 they sent mail
to me which looked to me to be spam, they swear that I'd left the address they spammed with a fare info request on their site a year earlier. I find that
very hard to believe, both because I don't recall visiting their site at all

[continued from previous message]

Mytravellite (https://www.mytravellite.com/) is a low cost airline flying from Birmingham (UK) to Ireland and Spain. Schedules, reservations, destination info. Small discount offered for online booking.

Norwegian Airlines (https://www.norwegian.no) is a low cost airline flying
from Oslo to Norway and elsewhere in Europe. Site has reservations and info mostly translated from the Norwegian.

Olympic (https://www.olympicairlines.com/), the flag carrier of Greece, has a basic site with online booking.

Openskies (https://www.flyopenskies.com/) is a new subsidiary of British Airways that currently flies between Paris and New York, and Paris and Washington DC. They plan to add flights from other European cities. (It's
named after the treaty that lets them do that.) Spiffy site has the usual stuff; their premium economy gets rave reviews, close to biz class at much lower fares.

Ryanair (https://www.ryanair.ie) is a rapidly expanding low-fare airline with
a hub at London Stansted and minor hubs in London Luton, Dublin, Shannon, Glasgow, Brussels, Stockholm Skavsta, Frankfurt Hahn, and Milan Orio Al Serio. Web site offers routes, fares, and booking. Fares start at one cent but rarely stop there. Even with all the nuisance charges they're often quite cheap, and once you battle your way onto the plane, they generally run on time and rarely lose the bag you've paid them to check.

SAS (https://www.sas.se) has schedule info on-line, and in large downloadable text file. Windows interface program (2MB download) lets you search through
the schedule file, but it's far faster to search with a text editor. Also limited reservations for pass holders and frequent flyer redemptions.

Spanair (https://www.spanair.com/) is a Spanish regional airline that ran out of money and suddenly collapsed. Not currently recommended.

Swiss (https://www.swiss.com), the successor to Crossair, has schedule info
and on-line booking on a somewhat sloppy site, and some web specials. (Click Special Offers on the home page.) They're about to be taken over by Lufthansa, but it's not clear whether it'll continue to operate as a separate airline.

Swissair went bankrupt in September 2001 and their schedules have somewhat
been taken over by Swiss airlines.

Thomsonfly (https://flights.thomson.co.uk/en/index.html) is a low fare airline based in the UK offering flights to vacation destinations in central and southern Europe, north Africa, and the Americas. Site offers flights and package vacations.

Transavia (https://www.transavia.nl/en) is a subsidiary of KLM flying from Amsterdam to holiday destinations in Europe and north Africa. Info and online reservations. Their former low-cost subsidiary Basiqair is now merged into Transavia.

Virgin Atlantic (https://www.fly.virgin.com/) has a spiffy looking site with reservations, fares, and ticketing. Also tours and occasional specials.

VLM (https://www.vlm-airlines.com/) is a low-cost airline flying small planes mostly between the UK and Benelux. (The V stands for Flemish.) Schedules, reservations, company history. It's more or less the same airline as Citijet now, owned by Air France/KLM.

XL Airways (https://www.xl.com) flies from France and Germany to vacation destinations in southern Europe and north Africa, primarily package vacations. Dense, functional has all the stuff they offer. Their former parent, Excel Airways in the UK, is bankrupt, but spun off the continental parts which are still in business. For now, at least.

* Airlines elsewhere in the world

Afriqiyah (https://www.afriqiyah.aero/) flies a modern fleet from its home
base in Tripoli to Africa, Europe, and Asia. Snappy looking site offered the usual stuff, with online booking provided by Sabre but doesn't currently work.

Air Asia (https://www.airasia.com/) is a startup headquartered in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) offering low-fare single-class point to point service along the lines of JetBlue or Ryanair. They have some amazing intro fares, like round trip from Kuala Lumpur to Johor, across the bridge from Singamore, for RM78, about US$20. Online reservations, info, and a nice three page menu of onboard food offerings. I think I'll try the Asian egg salad sandwich. In September 2007, a new affiliate called (for the moment) AirAsia X (https://www.airasia.com/site/en/page.jsp?reference=aax_pr1) will start low-fare long haul service between Malaysia and points as far away as Europe.

Air India (https://home.airindia.in/) has a home page chock full of dancing, blinking flash animations that looks like an Asian bazaar (which, I suppose,
it is.) Site is oddly organized but has the usual stuff, online ticketing,
ops, destination info, and so forth. To buy tickets you have to register as a YATRIK (Your Airline Travel Reservation Internet Kit.) It's different in
India.

Air New Zealand (https://www.airnz.co.nz) offers schedules and booking via a private-label version of ITN/Getthere, which one time assured me that you
can't fly from Auckland to New York. It's better now, although it doesn't seem to find the best fares. Also special fares and frequent flyer info. Once
you're on the plane, though, the service is great, particularly those flat bed business class seats.

ANA (https://www.ana.co.jp/eng/int/) is Japan's #2 airline, flying both domestic and international routes. Site is not fancy but very functional with much better fare info than most airlines offer. Once you buy a ticket, don't miss the cute animated seat selector.

Ansett Australia (https://www.ansett.com.au) stopped flying in March 2002. But the web site has lots of tedious details of the financial dissection of the carcass.

Aerolineas Argentinas (https://www.aerolineas.com.ar) has schedules and reservations (for Argentine residents) through a private label version of Amadeus. In Spanish and English. I think it's flying this week, labor has been battling owner Iberia.

Cathay Pacific (https://www.cathay-usa.com), Hong Kong's airline, offers booking through ITN and a variety of special offers such as bonus AA frequent flyer miles or package deals to Asia.

El Al (https://www.elal.co.il) has U.S. schedules and some US-oriented package info. Appears to have on-line booking although I couldn't get it to work.

Emirates (https://www.emirates.com), the airline of Dubai, has an attractive site with info about schedules, packages and special offers, and requent flyer info. The on-line booking makes it easy to search by schedule, even among multiple days, somewhat possible to search by fare, and due to Javascript bugs I can't tell whether it actually sells tickets.

Gol (https://www.voegol.com.br) is a low-fare airline flying in Brazil and a few adjacent countries. Routes, fares, e-tickets, ground connections. Nice flash animation of flying pigs on the home page.

Kingfisher (https://www.flykingfisher.com/) flies throughout India and to London and a few cities in Asia. Service is supposed to be quite good,
although they're reported to be running out of money. Bright red web site has all the usual stuff.

Lan Chile (https://www.lanchile.cl) has an attractive multi-lingual site with schedules, fares, and some cheap Internet-only specials.

Malaysia Airlines (https://www.malaysiaairlines.com) has route and schedule information, with frequent special deals, but if you want to buy a ticket, you have to call them.

Pacific Blue (https://www.flypacificblue.com/) is a new bit of the Virgin empire that flying from New Zealand to Australia and other South Pacific
points and, later this year, domestically in New Zealand. The web site is basically the same as its ozzie parent Virgin Blue, with some really cheap introductory fares on their new routes.

Polynesian Airlines (https://www.polynesianairlines.co.nz/) has basic routes and schedules.

Qantas (https://www.qantas.com.au) has an attractive site with online booking, schedule info and flight ops and a downloadable off-line Windows itinerary manager. Bookings are oriented toward but not limited to Australian residents.

Royal Air Maroc (https://www.royalairmaroc.com/) has an attractive site with a fragile connection to Amadeus that will occasionally sell you a ticket. Site has a grab bag of other goodies such as detailed information on many airports they fly to (but none of the ones in Morocco), and the results of the 4th
World Executive Challenge golf tournament.

Royal Jordanian (https://www.rja.com.jo) has a stylish but slow web site with routes and schedules to and from their Amman hub.

Singapore Airlines (https://www.singaporeair.com) has schedule info, reservations, frequent flyer, and info on their new A380s. It's best viewed
via a server that will filter out anything that's unwholesome.

South African Airways (https://www.saa.co.za/saa) has schedules and a little destination info, but they've toned down the eye-straining graphics.
Occasional seat auctions.

Varig (https://www.varig.com.br), is now a subsidiary of low cost carrier Gol, the old Varig having run out of money and died a while ago. Web site entirely in Portugese has schedule info and reservations.

Virgin Blue (https://www.virginblue.com.au) is a low-fare domestic airline in Australia with its hub in sunny Brisbane. Schedules and on-line booking. Lunch costs extra.


* Are there many on-line agents?

There's lots of them, grouped below by location of the agent and type of service.

NOTE: All of the descriptions below are edited from info provided by the agencies themselves. There are many resources other than travel agents available on the net, as well, but they're not listed here. Most agencies
offer a broad range of services, so the groupings by type of service below are pretty arbitrary.
