Orbitz review

Orbitz is a solid package seller with one of the clearer reward rates on this list. Through Orbitz Rewards, app bookers earn 4% back on hotels and 2% on air in Orbucks, which you can redeem instantly on hotels in the app. The My Trips area lets you plan your own vacation packages with hotels, cars and activities, and the flight search offers combined one-way fares that give a single price for two separately issued tickets. Orbitz says free cancellation is available on most hotels, you can pay when you book or at the hotel, and last-minute rooms nearby can be 30% cheaper through mobile exclusive deals. The app also sells activities, local tours and airport shuttles, and Orbitz runs an LGBTQIA travel hub for welcoming hotels and events. It ranks below Expedia because it does not publish a package savings figure, and Orbucks can be spent only on hotels. Its app promo code also excludes most major hotel chains.
