The list of sites nixed includes Vayama.com and Vegas.com, but doesn’t include larger OTAs such as Priceline and Expedia, nor Expedia sites Travelocity and Orbitz. Yet. More details here.

In other airline news, U.K.-based Monarch Airlines ceased operations abruptly in early October, leaving the U.K.’s Civil Aviation Authority to figure out how to get more than 100,000 Monarch customers who were overseas back home and Germany’s airberlin, which announced bankruptcy in August, will end its flights Oct. 28.
