Travelzoo stated in the release that they intend to use Fly.com as a new information website.

Company Senior VP, Brian Clark, said the domain will act as a compliment to the Travelzoo brand offering travelers and advertisers with innovative approaches to finding the best values in travel.

While flights in the U.S. have been plagued by faltering sales and frustrating delays, travel is still a popular escape from the pressures of life. Safe to say that the travel industry will re-emerge as the USA (and the world) eventually crawl out of the current economic slowdown.

Considering that most all markets are presently depressed with fire sales being the norm, acquiring Fly.com makes good sense for a company looking forward … and not behind. As I always say, “Once a domain is gone, it’s gone.” Which is great news when you’re the new owner of a premium web address like Fly.com.
