I purchased round trip tickets last March 20th. I went through Orbitz and was
only offered the paper ticket option. They were to be here by now but weren't so I called Orbitz. I was informed Orbitz had mailed them, and could not reissue or remail and so I need to repurchased these round trip, coast to coast tickets. They want me to send the old tickets back and THEN they will mail me new ones....duh. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get Orbitz to remail these tickets? I did speak with a Delta customer service rep (Airline the flights were made on) and they seemed to think I could just take in paper itinery and be reissued at the time of boarding??? But I don't feel comfortable waiting until the very last minute. Donna |

On the basis of failure to deliver the goods. |

I also called the charge card company. They told me the merchandise had been
delivered because Orbitz had sent it out. Also, to further complicate matters, I paid for half of these tickets with Orbitz reward points from my Juniper Credit card. If I am going to have to purchase another ticket, I need to do it before prices go up though. I purchased round trip tickets last March 20th.

Surely they can't assume that "sent" and "received" mean the same thing. Time to find another credit card company......... |

Have you tried going to the CTO or the airport and asking the Delta rep there to print you another copy? It's worth a shot. miguel -- Hit The Road!

I bought Delta tickets last year through Orbitz and thought I got e-tickets. |

Go to the airport or the nearest Delta ticketing office and have the tickets reissued now. Bring everything you have regarding the issue: itinerary, printed emails, credit card statement, etc. If the latest credit card statement does not include this charge, print the current charges from your on-line credit card account (every credit card now offers on-line access; if you have not used this, do it now). Be prepared to wait at the Delta counter. Be polite but firm. Pete |

It doesn't matter. Orbitz is responsible to make sure that the goods get delivered. Orbitz may have a cause of action against the delivery service, but it is not the responsibility of their client to run it down. :File a complaint that with the relevant mail service. (I'm presuming :you had just used regular mail, not anything trackable.) He didn't do anything. Orbitz did. :Then contact the airline, say your ticket was lost in the post. They :won't reissue tickets, or authorise their reissue, until a day or two :before travel, in case they turn up. :You shouldn't need to pay again, but if the original tickets turn up :afterwards you will need to send them back. There will be reissue charges :for the tickets, though. If there is, the portion of the charge should be refused. Orbitz failed to deliver the goods. :And in future, always pay the extra to get any paper tickets send by an :insured and trackable service. It is the vendors aka Orbitz's responsibility to deliver the goods. -- Binyamin Dissen http://www.dissensoftware.com |
