When booking a ticket on Travelocity, consumers provide the dates and times they wish to travel and are then presented with a list of available flights. As shown in the screenshot below, the logos and names of the major air carriers are clearly displayed, but when a flight is outsourced to a regional carrier, this information is not clearly provided. In order to determine whether a regional carrier is operating the flight, consumers must hover their mouse over a tiny portion of the screen to reveal who is actually flying the plane.
