[edit] Details of Some (not so "minor") Changes I Made

    • To those outside of the Travel Industry "Computer Reservation System" has a more explanatory name than "Global Distribution System" (the latter could mean global distribution of virtually anything to the uninformed).
  • Replaced the link to a Travel Weekly (Travel Industry-Only publication) article re WorldSpan-Expedia dispute with a Google cached link. The former is only available to those in the Travel Industry.

I do not agree, Worldspan is a GDS and not a CRS, and anyway I am not sure that people who have nothing to do with the travel industry go and check expedia page on wikipedia.

I have nothing to do with the travel industry and I came here so your argument is invalid. I came to find out whether Expedia was ever part of Microsoft. (yes, Expedia was but is not now)

[ Travel Agents call Sabre, World Span, and Amadeus GDS (Global Distribution System) before thess pages I have never heard of Computer Reservation System(CRS) used to explane Sabre, World Span, and Amadeus ]ST

[edit] Customer Service section

Anyone notice that 199.3.115.254 who keeps removing the customer service section is posting from

Expedia.com SPRINTLINK (NET-199-3-115-0-1) 199.3.115.0 - 199.3.115.255

I'm not saying that the section necessarily belongs, but that removal of uncomplimentary items by someone from the company looks fishy. -- Alanhwiki 21:10, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia is a general information resource and should not be riddled with opinions and comments no matter how detailed the bad experiences are. I like the victimsofexpedia site, but i believe this is not the right venue for that.

It appears to be an advert for Expedia. The Customer Services section is a joke.

If the entry lists awards that Expedia has won then it should also list customer complains from sites such as Expedia@pissedConsumer.Com or else the entry is highly misleading. The entry currently reads as if it were written by Expedia's PR people.
