Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: I have worked in the travel industry and understand how the fares work In addition, no other airline was even close in offering that fare, only on Orbitz was that fare offered and it was $cheaper than any one else, with the exact same date, time and airline I have print out of your fares for $and was even quoted that fare by a representative This fare was also offered for at least days This is clearly bait and switchI have had several other people voice their concerns with Orbitz as well This must be corrected because I don't want others to go through the disappointment, frustration, anger and time wasted which eventually turns into NEVER booking on Orbtiz again Sincerely, [redacted] ***
