Full Review
This site gave me the best prices for tickets to India and with these prices, I could negotiate better with travel agents I spoke with. I gave them the fare available at Orbitz and they tried to beat the price but couldn't. The only hassle was that the fare seemed to be the same for me and my kids. The airlines told me they charge 80% of the adult fare so why didn't Orbitz show me this? Also, after reading another review here, I decided to check directly with the Airlines and seemed to get the best deal with them, even better than Orbitz's. If Orbitz had given me the 20% off for the kids fare, I'd have stuck with that. I don't know why Orbitz has this extra hidden fee called ticket protection which added on close to $200 to the already steep fare - made me think twice and also made me uncomfortable about shelling out my money here.
