Orbitz & Delta
Orbitz seems to offer Delta flights that I can't find on Delta.com.

My best guess (and its only a guess), is that you are talking about a display of flight combinations involving 1 or more stops. I suspect that Delta's system limits their display to combinations with the most efficient (direct/shortest) routes, while other systems such as Orbitz, allow for a greater number of combinations of segments resulting in a display that includes flights with very indirect or lengthy stops. I've found that it is sometimes possible to get a greater variety of flight combinations by manually entering each segment of a multi- segment trip in the reservation table, and booking them individually.

So, for example, a Continental flight from JFK to CLE to LAX will show up as both as a CON flight and a DAL flight on Orbitz. It will no show up at all on Delta.com . Delta.com will only list flights where at least one of the legs is really flown by Delta or its commuter affiliates. |
