Site Report:
You've heard about Orbitz.
They were just purchased by Cendant for 1.2 Billion dollars. They've had commercials with puppets all over your
TV. They were one of the first mainstream companies to have an
outreach into the gay travel market. They've built a website that pioneers the use of the so-called matrix display for travel information. They've built a brand in lightspeed using online pops with games
the Travelsites team likes to play like golf and football.
Trust us....You've heard about Orbitz.
After the airlines saw that folks like Expedia, Travelocity and Priceline were selling a lot of tickets using the Internet (and making a lot of money in the public markets through IPOs), they decided to do something about it. Five airlines invested in an online venture they came to call Orbitz: American, Continental, Delta, Northwest and United.
Orbitz launched its consumer website on June 4, 2001 and quickly became a household name.
Today, Orbitz is a leading online travel company that enables travelers to search for and purchase a broad array of travel products, including airline tickets, lodging, rental cars, cruises and vacation packages. On its web site, consumers can search more than 455 airlines, as well as rates at over 65,000 lodging properties and at 23 car rental companies.
Orbitz's website is the place where you can find the most lowest fares, and customer service studies have shown it to be one of most customer friendly sites. With the ITA software they licensed for airfare searching, you can really scroll the available fares to find the fare that meets your needs and your budget.
In addition, you can find links to hotwire.com liberally sprinkled through the orbitz.com website, so if you're flexible, you can simply find the lowest available retail fare on
Orbitz and compare it to the opaque inventory on hotwire.com.
The Travelsites team has used Orbitz and recommend it for all your online travel needs.
