When looking for airline tickets online, are you really getting the best deal possible?

Farreportal, an online travel agency behind flight booking sites like CheapOair and OneTravel, this week filed a lawsuit against low-cost airline JetBlue, accusing it of engaging in a Anti-competitive “ploy” to prevent consumers from comparing JetBlue airfares with other airlines.

The lawsuit alleges that JetBlue makes it difficult for travelers to compare prices on the routes it “dominates”, which allows it to increase fares. Fareportal said JetBlue has blocked CheapOair and a dozen other online travel agencies from posting its content.

“JetBlue tries to force customers to book tickets on its website where the lack of price comparison with other airlines’ fares will allow JetBlue to increase ticket prices for price sensitive travelers,” said Frederick Stein, legal and compliance director of Farreportal in a statement. written statement.

However, the airline disputed Fareportal’s claims, calling them “frivolous and completely unfounded”.
