Priceline postpones promotion following attacks

PRICELINE.CO.UK has postponed a one-day promotional campaign it had planned following the USA terrorist attacks.

The web-based travel company had planned to sell 30,000 special editions of the Independent newspaper on September 18 from Priceline liveried kiosks at Liverpool Street, Victoria, Paddington and Gatwick Airport railway stations in London. Customers were going to be allowed pay what they wanted for the newspapers instead of the usual cover price.  

Priceline, which has a large American operation, felt it was inappropriate to hold the event and will reschedule it.
