Agents either don't know, or don't want to implement airline restrictions/policies properly. We had to three-way call in an airline representative to explain to the Orbitz agent that we were allowed to make changes and that there were flights available to book the changes. Only then were we able to actually get our flight rebooked. Seriously. Book directly with the airline. It costs less. You will see more flight options. The features and restrictions of the tickets will be more transparent. Finally, in my experience the airlines are more helpful when you need assistance. And *that's* a pretty low bar that Orbitz fails to clear. I've been an Orbitz user since late 2001. I'm out.

!!Car rental scam at Loreto, Mexico, Airport!! !!Car rental scam at Loreto Airport!! Do not book a car rental through Orbitz, Expedia, or other 3rd party agent when reserving a vehicle in Loreto!!!!! If you do, the car rental counter staff at the airport will tell you that Orbitz, Expedia, etc. “never sent them the reservation and that they don’t have any vehicles.” Which means that you must go to all the other car rental agencies to see who has a car and how much it will cost. One car rental company staffer wanted to charge $880 for 5 days and another wanted to charge $1200 for 5 days!!!! Since someone in our group spoke Spanish, she was able to get one person to agree to $440 for 5 day – still twice as much as the original reserved price of $230. Shame on you, Loreto car rental agencies!

Dont book low-cost airlines through Orbitz!!!! Not free or easy 24 hr cancellation When booking my easyjet ticket site states bold and clear - "Free cancellation within 24 hours". No asterisk or caveat for low cost airlines. In the fine print when finalizing payment, it states that if an airline charges a cancellation fee it is passed to the customer. You canNOT cancel easyjet directly with Orbitz, must call easyjet - and then esayjet charges a $75 cancellation fee (even within the 24 hours). The charge shows up from easyjet, not Orbitz so you cant dispute with the credit card company.

Don't book!! Was trying to book my husband's and I 40/50 birthday trip to Vegas and they charged my card for a hotel/flight package and I didn't get an itinerary number. So no I have to wait for the charges on my account to drop to rebook. Customer service was no help and now we are prolly gonna have to pay more! Frustrating and disappointing!

I booked a hotel I booked a hotel. When I arrived I noticed I booked wrong location. Called Orbitz. To ask about transferring to a different location. When they told me not possible. I was going to just go to where I had booked the original hotel. The hotel said Orbitz canceled the reservation and Orbitz denied it. And won't give me a refund???
