    Current Alerts For This Business

    Alert:
    We know that many customers have been experiencing difficulties either connecting with someone at Orbitz call centers or attempting to cancel or change travel plans directly on our site. Teams at Orbitz are working around the clock with their travel partners to process an unprecedented number of customer requests. As a result, we have taken several steps to help travelers, including increasing the number of travel advisors available, improving existing self-service options and introducing new automated ways for travelers to take action.
    We expect to launch new features that make it easier for our customers to manage their travel plans by text message or email. We’re also working through ways that we can reach out to customers who have travel starting in the next 72 hours so that we can support these customers more quickly. We understand the importance of each of our customers’ trips, and are working as fast as we can to provide this additional assistance. 

    The impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) on travel continues to change rapidly. Our travel partners’ policies regarding cancellations and refunds are also changing daily. Customers who have filed a complaint because they could not previously cancel their trip for a refund or rebook due to our travel partners’ policies may now be able to do so. We ask that our customers visit our customer service page for up-to-date guidance on the best steps to take.
    This can be a confusing and stressful moment for travelers, and we understand their need for timely answers and assistance. Know that we are working together with our travel partners, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to assist all our customers.

      I normally give companies and customer service emlpyees the benefit of the doubt but I jad a true nightmare of an experience with Orbitz today. Orbitz had sent me a travel confirmation stating I would be flying on ******* out of the ***************. However, when I got there, there was no Jeblue counter (walked the whole airport) and every time I tried to check in the app froze. I tried to call both Orbitz and Jetblue but the Jetblue wait time was an hour and Orbitz had no # available. I was near tears, since I had to get to my 7 year old daughter before her Dad had to go to work. Airport information and at least 10 airport employees confirmed that there are no Jetblue flights at ***************. I had to pay $300 to catch the last possible flight to my destination with another airline before the plane was about to take off. At home, I reached out for help again and The ****** website dotectsd me to *******. After an hour on hold with Jetblue, I finally was able to reach a very helpful ******* agent who confirmed that they don't fly out of *************** but that they contract with Jetsuite X, a company that operates outside of a small private airport just outside the ******************** and that Orbitz should have communicated this to me and thst I should contact Orbitz.I finally reached an Orbitz "manager" - or perhaps chat bot - who refused to give me a refund. My whole monthly budget for my kids is thrown off by this haddship that occurred due to no fault of my own. Long story short, I will not book through Orbitz again and you may want to think twice about using their services too of you care about receiving the services you paid for and being treated with kindness and professionalism
