If you did not receive your print or e-mail copy, please send an email to mori@laxtw.org and our Treasurer Mori Morrison will send another copy out to you immediatey. If you would like to switch your copy from print to e-mail, for future issues, please send this request to Mori, also.
Newsletters are sent out as invatations to the next Luncheon, to our current members only. Once that Luncheon has passed, the Newsletter is then available for everyone, viewing and printable, under LAX CLUB NEWS, PAST NEWSLETTERS.

Travelport, the parent corporation of TWA's Worldspan Computer System (known as TWA PARS in the 70's and 80's) announced 2 big wins for Worldspan by acquiring the business of Japan Air Lines (JAL) and South African Airlines (SAA). The JAL and SAA systems for travel agencies will switch to Worldspan. The JAL switch from American Airline's SABRE system, and the SAA switch from United Airline's GALILEO system will begin in 2013.
Worldspan is the leading booking engine for web-based travel agencies, and regular travel agencies having a web site for booking travel. Our TWA logo might not be seen around the world anymore; but, the TWA computer system is everywhere, extremly powerful, user friendly, and used by the travel industry worldwide.
