What kind of game is Orbitz playing?
I'm searching for a round trip flight to Washington DC on certain
dates, the other search engines are showing the same fare on this certain airline but Orbitz has the same flight on the same airline for $200+ more than the others. It looks to me like they have a contract to promote another airlines flights and are making up a higher fare on others to drive business one way. |

ISTM that they don't provide you with the best prices and the solution is to use another search engine. tim |

So it may be your airline doesn't choose to offer Orbitz the best deal. |

It is not like that you always get the best deal from a particular site. You have to research and do comparative analysis and finally select the suitable deal that best fits your schedule and budget. You can try with various other sites like Expedia and many more. |
