America West will offer low-price fares online through travel site Orbitz, the companies said Tuesday. The airline has also agreed to use Orbitz's Supplier-Link ticket-booking technology. More than 40 airlines offer discounted fares through Orbitz.

America West recently broke ranks with other airlines by agreeing to let regular travel agents distribute its discounted fares, which most airlines make available only online.
