In particular, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, Expedia and its affiliates, including its Hotels.com and Hotwire subsidiaries, accounted for 25% of our total revenues. Also during this period, Orbitz and its affiliates, including its CheapTickets and ebookers subsidiaries, accounted for 19% of our total revenues.
I guess Priceline wants to get a first shot at all that business, and then to get paid by their competitors for bookings they don't get.
Related: Expedia has an API... http://developer.ean.com/. Haven't checked it in a while - looks like only hotels are available now (no flights, cars, cruises, etc.)
Of course, not saying that Kayak went through this route - this is just something available to the hoi polloi.
I looked at Expedia for somewherenice.net, and didn't choose them for that reason. Needed to be able to package the whole trip, from airfare to lift tickets, so ended up working with Travelocity.
