Recap: AA Lawsuit, $5 Radisson Rooms & More

  • MoviePass Parent Company Acquiring Emmett Furla Oasis Films (EXCLUSIVE) by Variety. I guess this is the acquisition they were hinting about? I don’t really know how MoviePass or Sinemia plan to survive long term at this stage but will be interesting to see.
  • New Class Action Lawsuit Over AA.com Airfare Pricing by View From The Wing. I couldn’t disagree with Gary more. I’ve seen airlines price something at say $197, then you get to the payment stage and the price goes to $297. So you decide to look for another flight and start over, then the airline is still advertising the flight at $197 even though it’s already corrected that fare on check out. I don’t think anybody is saying that American Airlines should be sued because the booking experience is bad, but you can’t advertise a price that doesn’t exist regardless off how hard IT is. It’s hard to comment on the specifics of this case and I won’t but there has definitely been booking instances where I think companies have been engaging in intentionally deceptive practices.
