Travelocity, the most popular travel site on the Web, today announced that it has reached a long- term marketing agreement with American Airlines, Inc., a subsidiary of AMR Corp. (NYSE: AMR).

Under the terms of the wide-reaching agreement, American
will provide Travelocity access to a broad offering of fares, including Web fares and vacation package fares, effective immediately.

. “This expanded partnership with American is another step forward in Travelocity`s hard work to compete for and get the best fares and content for consumers.”
