Dick, I am a big supporter and agree with what you are trying to do, But these Australian companies/Business also need to start looking after Australians. I have rang hotels direct and asked them to match online prices and they have refused, I just went in to get prices on flights from Albury to Sydney next April, Qantas website is $40 dearer then the foreign sites through Trip Advisor, I am a single Mum, working full time to pay my way and my children’s way in life, so we are not living off the government, $40 is a huge savings for me, yes I would prefer to book directly with Qantas, but how do I do this when there prices are dearer then a third party.
