Three months after Expedia banished American Airlines fares from its site for what it considered the carrier's anti-consumer and anti-choice practices, the two travel heavyweights have reconciled.

As of late Monday, AA and American Eagle fares and schedules once again populated on Expedia.com and its other brands, which include Hotwire.com, Tripadvisor.com, and Hotels.com.

The dispute began in late December, when a judge approved American’s request to pull its fares from Orbitz and save money on the commission it pays third-party booking sites. In a sign of solidarity, Expedia buried AA flights in its search results before stripping the tickets entirely from the site January 1.

Orbitz and American are still caught in their dispute.
