Anyone use Orbitz.com to buy an airline ticket?
I'm setting up my Rockys trip for July 26-August 3 from GPT to DEN and return. So far, looks like $288 round trip.
Any of you expert faresavers got any tips?

I used them 4x's so far.
My trip to visit my brother last year in Cananda and then treebeards trip back from his AZ.
I have also used them for Hotel rooms.

Not bad.

Just used them for a return to Kansas City and back, they were pretty good and sent lots of e-mail updates about flight status. Of course now I get e-mails every day about promotions I'm not interested in.

I have used cheaptickets.com and always got better pricing than I did with Orbitz.

Service was prompt and efficient also.

I've used orbitz a couple times for flights and once for a hotel. All three times, I checked travelocity and cheaptickets first. Orbitz won out.

Things went smoothly w/ all three purchases.

I use both Orbitz and sidestep. Orbitz usually wins but they don't list JetBlue like sidestep does.

I've used orbitz once and it was fine. I usually try to go directly to the airlines. I usually find it cheaper stright from them.

I'll never use Orbitz til they stop using pop-up ads. We have to take a stand, people!

I used cheaptickets.com

Kind of roundabout, but very cheap rate.
