Airlines say reservations system down briefly

Posted: Updated:
DALLAS -

American Airlines and Southwest Airlines say that customers encountered problems booking flights on Tuesday because of a glitch in their reservations systems.

Both airlines say that the problem was fixed quickly, and they blamed it on Sabre Holding Corp., which provides reservations-systems technology to airlines. Sabre confirmed the accounts.

Southwest tweeted that the problem had been fixed. Frontier Airlines and Alaska Airlines said they too experienced brief outages in their Sabre-run systems. United Airlines, Delta Air Lines and US Airways said they use other technology providers and were not affected
