Skiplagged finds cheap one-way
fares by surfacing weird airline pricing strategies, like pricing a
NY-SFO-Lake Tahoe flight cheaper than an NY-SFO flight, so you book all
the way through to Tahoe, debark at SFO, and walk away from the final
leg.
Of course, it only works if you fly without luggage. But given that the
airlines' entire business strategy is to hoard information about their
pricing and operations from their customers, in the hopes of tricking
them into paying more for the same flight than the person in the next
seat, it's hard to work up any sympathy for the industry when the tables
are turned on them.
Skiplagged doesn't sell plane tickets, they don't even sell information. All they do is document the pricing strategies of the airlines. In the view of United and Orbitz, this is illegal -- they're suing the service (run by a 22 year old New Yorker named Aktarer Zaman), calling it "unfair competition."

In the lawsuit, United and Orbitz call Skiplagged “unfair competition” and allege that it is promoting “strictly prohibited” travel. They want to recoup $75,000 in lost revenue from Zaman.
Zaman said he knew a lawsuit was inevitable but he points out that there’s nothing illegal about his web site.
He also said he has made no profit via the website and that all he’s done is help travelers get the best prices by exposing an “inefficiency,” in airline prices that insiders have known about for decades.

Twenty-nine-year-old
NTV the Beat presenter, Douglas Lwanga, is the best dressed male TV
presenter in Uganda for 2014. The father of one who also does stage
performing and graphic design, was voted by fans as the guy who always
looks good on TV, thanks to the selection of his clothes.
Lwanga thanked fans far and wide for
voting him in a statement that he released shortly after being announced
best dressed TV presenter.
“It’s always a good feeling to know
that someone out there cares, you have shown me a lot of love throughout
this TV career. Starting from the bottom till here. Thanks for having
voted me again. We have won the Award. Thank you for the support and one
love,” he said.
Douglas, whose dream is to hit
international TV channels in future first worked for Record TV where he
spent about 7 years. He later went for a break and returned on the
silver screen with a new show, NTV the Beat that airs every week day at
5pm.
In a recent interview, the presenter who
is loved by both musicians and viewers said that his secret to success
is the fact that he never gets involved in the Ugandan music industry
wars.
We will keep you posted.
