Orbitz is fine if you simply book a reservationBut if you need any changes you may be in for a real headacheThe customer service has very little power to provide true customer careI spent hours and minutes trying to add an additional night to a reservation and was never able to do it after phone callsI was given nothing but a hard time for my effortsHorrible experience that I don't even have the time or desire to explain hereI called and left two messages for someone from their corporate office to call me so I could give them feedback on why my experience was so bad but was never called backI am a Director of Quality at a hospital and I know customer service wellThis company does not have good customer service
Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: I feel it does not make up for the stress, inconvenience and the hours of time I wasted fighting with reps in India to finally correct and resolve this serious issueIn fact I saved Orbitz considerable money and serious problems by discovering this egregious error before it became any worse or costlyI would agree to $credit / voucher applied to my Orbitz account with no restrictions on its use for future hotel or package booking Sincerely, [redacted]
