Voice of Travel

Don’t you hate that every time you check the price of a flight you want to take, it’s different? You never see the same price twice. You can look on a Wednesday afternoon, and get one price, but by Wednesday night it’s higher. Then the next day it might be a little lower again. How are you supposed to know when the best time to buy your airline tickets is if it’s always changing – going up and down?

Orbitz wants to make this easier for you. Buy your airline tickets whenever you want. If the prices go down and someone else buys a ticket on that same flight and gets a better price than you did, they’ll refund you the difference.

Now you don’t have to wait and hope that the prices will go down and not up. If you’re happy with the airline ticket price, buy it now…knowing that if the prices get better and someone else gets a better price, you’ll get that same price automatically!

I think that’s pretty cool. Of course it would be perfect if no matter what you’d get refunded for a lower price – if anyone else bought it or not – but let’s face it…that will never happen anywhere. So that’s pretty cool that Orbitz is willing to do this! They’re so big anyway that lots and lots of people use them to book their trips, so it shouldn’t be a problem having someone else book the same flight.

Hopefully we’ll see other travel companies join in.  This is a really cool idea!
