What I liked about Orbitz.com

  • I like that you can search by destination or by interest, e.g., romance, all-inclusive, eco-friendly, family, cruise, etc. This is great if you have a particular idea of what your trip should feel like.
  • Them homepage is clean and easy to navigate.
  • Modifying your search while researching flights is easy. There is a side toolbar that is very functional.
  • I like the quick search tab to search for flights and hotels.

What I didn't like about Orbitz.com

  • The Activities tab is featured but it's really just paid packages in your destination town. I would much rather have information about what to do on your vacation and have the option to buy a package. I prefer Travelocity's activity page. They partner with Frommer's to give free information on your destination.

Our trip to Panama. I tried to contact Orbitz from Panama. Was connected to Calif. phone. The line was full of jabber, & I didn't get through. Cost for Phone $42.00 which was a waste of money. We wanted to change hotels. The tower had no hot water. They had to fix the air conditioner. We didn't have hot water all week. The hotel personnel were very friendly but didn't fix the water problem. Frank White

Want a car? Great low prices BUT they don't tell you that the insurance you buy isn't worth the paper it's written on. It isn't the same insurance you get from the car rental company. Oh, book a hotel -- great ! But wait, we'll tell you the room has A/C -- surprise, it doesn't. We'll tell you it has complimentary WI FI internet access -- ooopps, it doesn't. Go ahead and call orbitz to make a change -- good luck. I was on hold at the rental car pick up location for 1.5 hours and never talked to an agent. I was on hold for 2 hours at the hotel room that didn't have A/C -- and never talked to a customer service person. I paid over $1500 for a room and car and DID NOT GET WHAT I WAS PROMISED ! Oh, and don't bother talking to the rental car company -- they point the finger at Orbitz and do NOTHING to help. Don't talk to the hotel operator -- they point the finger and ORBITZ and do NOTHING to help ! If you want to get ripped off -- do business with Orbitz. If you want to get what you are promised -- deal directly with the car company and the hotel operator. I will NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH ORBITZ AGAIN !
