Just saw 3 grown men bond.... over their contept for Orbitz and being

[henslee]

put on hold and having their hotel reservations totally screwed up. The lesson is WATCH OUT FOR BARGAINS YOU CANNOT AFFORD.

1. Can you give more details?

I have never used Orbitz, because I find that Expedia always gives me the best price for package deals (other than last minute ones which Site 59 is good for) or the airline web site itself for air fare deals. I've never had any of my reservations screwed up. Don't know if it's because the sites I use are more reliable or if I have good luck.

2. Wrong dates, screwed up details like one bed not two, long hold

times on the phone. It was just a funny moment... strangers sharing a rant... like a commercial AGAINST Orbitz.

3. Maddox on Orbitz:

Maddox rules, by the way...

"Yeah, that's exactly what we need: more consumers thinking less. Don't think, just spend! Tell you what assholes, I'll think all I want. Take your stupid jingle, spontaneous consumerism, and creepy blue zombies and shove it. My beef with Orbitz stems from a $94 dispute I had with them that will become the most expensive $94 Orbitz will ever make..."

4. That's a cool site. Is Maddox a famous blogger/net personality?
