Product as to where you fly when, etc, how you treat diversions, how you integrate with transfers. As others have stated, Thomson's have been doing this sort of things for years around the margins of their main business, most noticeably recently with EZY.
I'm not sure why this RYR deal is seen as a game changer, why is it different from the other arrangements? Is it any more than TUI using RYR filling to fill in gaps and smooth the curves in their core business?
