Where?

I refer once more to my previous citation, which explicitly uses an
example of an airline, and then frankly give up. If you chose to accept
the (alleged) interpretation of an institution that has no actual legal
basis, on your head be it.

"An airline company provides a flight reservation and booking service to
the public on its website. This is a provision of a service and is
subject to the act.”

This website booking facility IS a service, under the act's code of
conduct, regardless of whether or not they provide a walk-in service
(which must also be accessible).
