With American Airlines battling Orbitz and Expedia over the airline’s insistence that they access the airline`s flights through direct-connects, what kind of traction is the fledgling AA Direct Connect getting?

It’s a difficult question to answer because American isn’t providing client names and specifics as some companies understandably fear that signing up will put a target on their backs.

American is saying publicly that online and traditional travel agencies in the U.S., Europe and Asia have signed up for AA Direct Connect, but is unclear how many actually are using the new tie-in.

In theory, the ranks will increase if — or when — the airline begins to exclusively distribute its ancillary services through direct-connect, giving travel agencies and corporations much more of a reason to link to AA Direct Connect.
