Airbnb isn't happy with Vrbo's more aggressive advertising strategy. But as a challenger brand, Vrbo feels the need to score some points.

The big three online travel agencies are generating almost three-quarters of the short-term rental revenue on the planet. The rest of the crowd is seeing their previous foothold diminishing.

Southwest is looking to expand its online distribution even though it didn't get the love it sought for its now-abandoned 'bags fly free' policy.

Vrbo, the underdog in the competition, is getting scrappy with its marketing tactics.

On today’s podcast, we break down the hotel loyalty race, share Alexa’s new travel skills, and explain Southwest’s new booking partnerships.

The move marks another major shift for Southwest, which had long resisted online travel agencies and encouraged direct bookings as a way to boost customer loyalty.
