...conflict looks certain to escalate. Orbitz and its backers deny that they are doing anything wrong, while Southwest is receiving overt and covert backing from allies. For instance, the Interactive Travel Services Association, the trade association for online travel agents, has endorsed the lawsuit, saying that it aims "to protect millions of consumers from Orbitz's unfair and deceptive practices...
