OK guys this is my story……so I bought 2 r/t fares through Orbitz for 708 from SFO to Geneva on Apr/30 and two weeks later the same fare, same departure, same arrival, same everything is now 677…..i emailed Orbitz requesting the credit for the difference (for 2 tickets is about $60) and their response was

Dear Orbitz Customer,

Thank you for contacting Orbitz.

I understand you would like to claim price guarantee for you flight reservation.

Airfares change throughout the day, based on demand for the flight and the airlines’ right to change them at any time.

We monitor these changes closely and make every effort to keep our fare displays as current as possible. At the time of your fare search and when you bought your ticket, our display showed the lowest fare available for purchase for the time and dates you requested.

If you should find a lower fare after purchasing a non-refundable ticket, we will not be able to issue a credit for the difference in price. If you wish to take advantage of a lower price you see on the website, you may cancel the ticket and re-book. You will be subject to the refundability policy associated with your current ticket and may be charged any fees listed in that policy.

Sincerely,

Peter Emanuel
OrbitzTLC Team

So basically, they lie, mislead and do not stand behind their promise just so they can make a sale. BEWARE!!!!!!

I like the way Orbitz.com get the discounted rebate if someone else books cheaper. Hope they get into the big travel companies.

Agree with you, Travel insurance takes a huge role in your journey to other country. It’s your guide and assurance of a fun trip. Anyway, It is really a great article.

Don’t forget Travel Insurance when you travel. It covers all sorts of stuff like if your bags are stolen.

Keep in mind if you’re visiting a different country if you break your leg or something and you need medical aid travel insurance can cover that as well saving you in the long run.

Good article otherwise.

As far as packing goes. I find that rolling your clothes instead of folder can help add more space, and you can pack MORE! Don’t pack what you can purchase cheaply at your destination. (Shampoo can be a disaster when it breaks open in your luggage, save the worry and purchase when you land).

I really like this Orbitz deal, and I will definitely be booking with them on my next flight. Thanks for this post!
