Orbitz

April 7, 2009 /PRNewswire/ -- Orbitz.com today announced the "Fly Fee Free" promotion, removing booking fees* on flights booked on or before May 31, 2009. Together with Price Assurance, the "Fly Fee Free" promotion clearly establishes Orbitz as the best place for consumers to book their flight online.

Orbitz led the industry with the launch of Price Assurance in June of 2008. Price Assurance guarantees that customers will get the best Orbitz price for their flights. It's really quite simple: you book a flight on Orbitz, another Orbitz customer subsequently books the same ticket at a lower published fare, Orbitz automatically sends you a check for the difference, from $5 up to a maximum of $250 per traveler. Price Assurance is a permanent offering - the only one of its kind in the industry - and it's completely automatic.

"At Orbitz we are committed to providing the absolute best value to travelers," said Barney Harford, president and CEO of Orbitz Worldwide. "We've been sending out thousands of checks a month since the launch of Price Assurance, and now with the introduction of our 'Fly Fee Free' promotion there has never been a better time to buy at Orbitz."Read more
