Thank goodness I found this site first!!!

For 24 hours now, I’ve been trying to book a flight on Orbitz. Everytime, and I mean everytime (20+), I try to book a flight at their advertised price, it either gives me a message that it cannot confirm my flight, or, more often, that the flight is now 33%-50% more than advertised. This site seems to be nothing more than a bait and switch job!!! Don’t trust them or waste your time. Life is too important than to waste it on this POS site!!!

Worst Customer service ever

Had to cancel my resvervations due to a flight cancellation.  Orbitz did this after mulitple phone calls.  he first three phone calls ended up transferring me to a non working number.  After a few hours a called again and finally got a live person - they said they processed a refund - we’ll see.  Then I asked for the booking fee back - this is where it really got frustrating. After an hour and a half of my time and speaking to 4 different people and getting cut off once, and having to repeat my story and personal information 4-5 times, even during the same phone session, I spoke to a supervisor.  I expressed to him my frustration with customer service - politely I might add - and he agreed to refund the lousy 13 dollar booking fee provided I re- booked thru Orbitz.   I decided to rebook thru Orbitz until I saw that the flight offered were 150 more expensive then when I first bookd and approx. 175 more expensive then hotwire flights.  So it was a no brainer and there is no way I’m going to waste any more time ever calling or dealing with Orbitz.  They SUCK - IMHO!
