I get tickets the same way you do because I don't have a CC and use travelocity. Never EVER had an issue like that. I even went so far as to get a hotel through expedia one time. No issues there either. I always thought Orbitz was overpriced. I get tickets the same way you do because I don’t have a CC and use travelocity. Never EVER had an issue like that.

I used to be a full service travel agent. I took pride in the customer service that I offered my clients. Unfortunately, the Internet agencies (Orbitz, Travelocity, etc.) undercut travel agents so much that sometimes we are working for pennies. Airlines quit paying us commissions, hotels and car rental agencies cheat us out of our commission. The only way we make any money is by selling all inclusive packages and cruises. Most travel agents use vendors that they can trust their clients vacations with therefore it might possibly cost a little more for a secure vacation and some customer service. Unfortunately, it is not until someone experiences what you have just experienced before they realize it is worth using a travel agent and getting what you pay for instead of using online booking agencies and getting what you pay for. I am sorry to hear that you had this horrible time with Orbitz, because I am also sorry to say they are one of the best online agencies out there now. I couldn't compete so I had to subscribe to the "can't beat them, join them" club. The reason you had trouble with that flight is because that particular airline does not let other ticketing agencies ticket them electronically. It is a big mess!! I am sure there is a real travel agent just around the corner, so look in the phone book. Good Luck!! <em>Annie's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheSavvyTourist/~3/271074773/lost-in-the-woo.html' rel="nofollow">Lost in the Woods.......</a></em> I couldn’t pass up commenting on this post.
