Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:This was completely an UNFORCED ERROR on the part of Orbitz. I should have been issued a new flight from Newark at around 12:00 pm, same as before, with only one connecting flight. Orbitz did not provide an acceptable solution to their own UNFORCED ERROR. I will continue seeking action until I am fully reimbursed. My next step will be a lawsuit for not only airfare, but lost revenue.

Dear Revdex.com,Thank you for taking the time to contact Orbitz regarding an issue from our customer. We appreciate the Revdex.com allowing us to address the comments and concerns which have been...
brought to our attention. Orbitz is disheartened the customer felt their concerns were not resolved adequately by our company prior to seeking further actions from you. Orbitz is responding to the consumer complaint from Joel Harris (Revdex.com case number 11679601) regarding a flight reservation. We understand from the customers complaint he is requesting a refund of the reissue fee. Our records indicate that on August 23, 2016 the customer self-booked two one-way flight reservations. Both the customer departure and return flights were operated by [redacted] Airlines. The customers departure flights were scheduled to depart from Sacramento, CA to Orlando, FL on August 29, 2016. The customers return flights were scheduled to return from Orlando, FL to Sacramento, CA on September 1, 2016.Orbitz serves as a third party intermediary with travel providers such as hotels, car rental agencies and airlines and is subject to the rules and restrictions of those providers. As a result, we strongly recommend to our customers who choose to book their travel on their own to carefully review the details of the trip as well as the fare rules or cancellation policies. The customer booked two one-way tickets, both with [redacted] Airlines as the merchant of record, and the companies that charged the customer’s credit card. We hope you understand we have to abide by their rules and regulations.We were able to fully review the customers screen-by-screen booking process that took place on August 23, 2016. On “Trip Summary” page prior to inputting the credit card details there was a section titled “Important Flight Information” below it stated, “Your flight is a combination of two one-way fares, each subject to its own rules and restrictions.” Furthermore the customer was advised the of the following concerning the departure and the return flights, “Tickets are non-refundable 24 hours after booking and non-transferable. A fee of $200.00 per ticket is charged for itinerary changes.” At this time we are unable to offer a refund for the reissue fees for each ticket.We sincerely regret that we are unable to offer a more satisfactory response or resolution to Mr. [redacted]’s concern. At Orbitz we try as much as possible to provide not only excellent customer service but we also try to exceed what is expected of us. However we know that there are some instances when policies associated with the purchases made on our website cannot allow for a resolution that is more favorable to our customers. We are not trying to discharge ourselves from any responsibility; we only want to convey that we were able to provide Mr. [redacted] with the necessary information related to his flight purchase before our system asked him to complete the reservation online.We thank you for allowing us the opportunity to address the issues, brought to our attention. If you have any further questions or concerns regarding this matter, please feel free to contact us.Sincerely,Hayden [redacted]Tier 3 Customer Service

brought to our attention. Orbitz is disheartened the customer felt their concerns were not resolved adequately by our company prior to seeking further actions from you. Orbitz is responding to the consumer complaint from [redacted]Revdex.com case number [redacted]) regarding a flight reservation. We understand from Ms. [redacted] complaint she is requesting a refund of her canceled flight reservations.Our records indicate that on March 28, 2016 the customer self-booked a round trip flight for two traveler. The flight reservation was operated by [redacted] Airways, with flights departing on August 13, 2016 from New York, NY to Cancun on August 20, 2017.From time to time and for a variety of reasons, airlines issue schedule changes. We understand that these changes can be inconvenient, time consuming and not customer friendly. However, Orbitz serves as a third party intermediary with travel providers such as hotels, car rental agencies and airlines and is subject to the rules and restrictions of those providers. Dynamic Airways was the operating carrier and merchant of record for the customers departure flights (the entity that received the funds and the company that charged the credit card) on this itinerary. Orbitz has no control over when, or how often, airline initiated schedule changes occur. Orbitz cannot provide alternative flight options unless approved by the airline, and must adhere to the airline’s policies.As of July 8, 2016 Dynamic Airways sent a notification to Orbitz about the customers flight reservations advising that due to a schedule change they have canceled the customers tickets. Due to this Orbitz was required to request a refund waiver code from Dynamic Airways. Per documentation on July 25, 2016 an agent assisting the customer reached out to the airlines and was advised that it will take 7-10 days to have the waiver code generated so we are able to request a refund for the customers tickets.On July 24, 2016 Dynamic Airways provided Orbitz the refund waiver code allowing Orbitz to request a full refund of both tickets. The refund was processed to the customers original form of payment. The time it takes the refund to post to the customer’s account depends on the time it takes the airlines and the customer’s credit card company to process refunds. At this time we are unable to provide additional compensation due to the customers inconveniences.We thank you for allowing us the opportunity to address the issues, brought to our attention. If you have any further questions or concerns regarding this matter, please feel free to contact us.Sincerely,[redacted]Tier 3 Customer Service
Dear Mr. [redacted], The Revdex.com has shared with us your
correspondence regarding your experience with Orbitz. It is my understanding
there was an issue with booking a flight reservation on the Orbitz website and
you had to call Orbitz to book the reservation. You are requesting a...
refund for
the $25 booking fee charged to make the reservation with the agent. I
appreciate the opportunity to review your account and respond to your concerns. On behalf of Orbitz, I would like to apologize for your
disappointing experience. Please know as onetime courtesy we have processed a
refund for the $25 booking fee you were charged for your flight to Montreal.
The amount will reflect on your balance within 3 to 5 business days. Mr. [redacted], if you have any further questions or

to our attention. Orbitz is disheartened the customer felt their concerns were not resolved adequately by our company prior to seeking further actions from you. Orbitz is responding to the consumer complaint from [redacted] (Revdex.com case number [redacted]) regarding a hotel reservation. We understand from Ms. [redacted] complaint she is requesting a travel credit due to missing her trip to Huston.Our records indicate on July 16, 2016 the customer self-booked a hotel reservation for two travelers using Orbitz.com. The customer purchased a one night hotel reservation at [redacted] [redacted] Houston Bush Intl, checking in on July 19, 2016, and checking out on July 20, 2016.We are able to confirm that during the booking process the customer reserved the hotel as a “pay now” reservation. After further research the specific room that the customer reserved is available as a “pay later” reservation but after reviewing a screen-by-screen record of the customers booking process we are able to verify that the customer booked the hotel reservation to be paid for at the time of booking.Our records reflect on July 16, 2016 the customer went on Orbitz.com and utilized our self-service tools to cancel her reservation. Per the hotels cancellation and change policy “Cancellations or changes made after 5:00 PM local hotel time, Tuesday, July 19, 2016 are subject to a hotel fee equal to 1 night(s) plus taxes and fees.” Since the customer canceled the reservation on July 16, 2016 an automatic refund of $104.11 has been processed back to the customers original form of payment. The amount of time it takes the customer to receive depends on the customers banking institution. At this time we are unable to provide any additional forms of compensation to Ms. [redacted].We sincerely regret that we are unable to offer a more satisfactory response or resolution to the customers concern. At Orbitz we try as much as possible to provide not only excellent customer service but we also try to exceed what is expected of us.

Re: Orbitz Case #: [redacted]
Dear Revdex.com,
Thank you for taking the time to contact Orbitz regarding an issue from our customer. We appreciate the Revdex.com allowing us to...
address the comments and concerns which have been brought to our attention. Orbitz is disheartened the customer felt their concerns were not resolved adequately by our company prior to seeking further actions from you.
Orbitz is responding to the consumer complaint from [redacted] (Revdex.com complaint #[redacted]) regarding the best price guarantee refund request.
Our records show on November 14, 2016, Mr. [redacted] self-booked an Orbitz.com hotel reservation via booking number [redacted] in the amount of $5.06 with a check-in date of November 17, 2017. We understand from the customer’s complaint, he found a lower price and a best price guarantee application was submitted. Mr. [redacted] also stated Orbitz is not complying with the best price guarantee rules and is requesting a refund of the price difference and the $50 Orbucks to be placed on his account.
Upon researching Mr. [redacted] complaint we can confirm on November 14, 2016 a Best Price Guarantee was denied due to Orbitz’s representative inability to verify the lower price submitted by the customer. As per the Hotel Price Guarantee terms and conditions, lower price needs to be verified live by one of our representatives and lower price itinerary must much apples-to-apples, meaning hotel, room type, discounts and cancelation policy have to be identical.
Orbitz hotel price guarantee’s terms and condition on our website also state, in order for a refund of the difference for an approved claim to be paid, travel must be completed and if customer qualifies for the $50.00 Orbucks credit, it would be provided within 3 to 4 week after travel is complete. At the time the claim was submitted, Mr. [redacted] travel was not completed. Based on the information provided above, we are unable to honor Mr. [redacted] best price guarantee refund request.
We thank you for allowing us the opportunity to address the issues that were brought to our attention. If you have any further questions or concerns regarding this matter, please feel free to contact us.
Sincerely,

Revdex.com:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted]. The resolution is not satisfactory but have choosed to accept it none-theless. I disagree that it took as long as it did for the reasons you cited. I doubt all the online similar complaints were because of the same circumstances. Given that others have had similar issues and you stick to your byline this going back and forth seems futile and a waste of more time. I wish your company nothing but karma. Good luck.
Sincerely,

Initial Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2015/07/17) */
Dear Mr. [redacted]
The Revdex.com has shared your recent correspondence pertaining to the collection notice received on Orbitz locators [redacted] and [redacted]. I appreciate the opportunity to review your account and...
respond to your concerns.
Upon reviewing your account, I do see that both reservations were confirmed on January 27, 2015. On January 30, 2015, you contacted us on why you had not received a full refund for the reservations. At that time, we did explain that the booking had not been canceled via Orbitz. We did send a refund request to Emirates Air on your behalf to see if they would still allow a refund.
Mr.[redacted], the booking was confirmed as requested, and the reservation was not courtesy canceled. We have indeed received a dispute from your credit card company, and you will need to contact our Collections Department at the number given on your notification. Thank you again for the opportunity to address your concerns.
Sincerely,

Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (3000, 7, 2015/07/17) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
I spoke with Orbitz customer support manager is February and she told me that this matter was cleared and closed.
I again contacted Orbitz customer service on 7/15 and Customer serv. Rep. told me that there is NOTHING outstanding on our part.
On one hand all of Orbitz's customer service personnel are telling us that everything is fine and the other hand I am receiving a collection notice.
Please note that the collection notice is the first communication I have received on this matter. There was no prior bills or any such thing sent to me.
Orbitz needs to take it up with the airline which is charging them a "change fee" which is being passed on to me unfairly. I will be taking this matter up with my credit card company as soon as possible.
Collection notice without any bills is unacceptable.
Final Business Response /* (4000, 9, 2015/07/18) */
Dear Mr. [redacted]Thank you for your follow-up response, and I appreciate the opportunity to address your continued concerns.
A dispute of charges was filed on a valid reservation, and chargeback has been received due to this dispute. In order to settle the collection amount, you will need to contact our Disputes Department directly.
Mr.[redacted], thank you again for the opportunity to address your concerns.
Sincerely,

Dear [redacted] Thank you for contacting Orbitz. It is my understanding that you did not have the proper entry documentation for your international travel and you were denied boarding for your flight. You believe Orbitz should have provided you with this information. On behalf of...
Orbitz, I would like to apologize for any frustration this has caused you. After further review, I do show that you were provided with a full refund for each reservation minus a $300 penalty per person, a total of $600.

May 10, 2017 Revdex.com Alaska, Oregon & Western Washington Complaint Department RE: Orbitz Case [redacted] Dear Revdex.com, Thank you for forwarding the Revdex.com Consumer Rebuttal from Mrs. [redacted]. We regret to hear that she did not accept our response and /or resolution offered. Orbitz is responding to the consumer complaint from Mrs. [redacted] (Revdex.com ID number [redacted]) regarding a hotel reservation. As stated previously, Orbitz serves as a third party intermediary for travel providers such as hotels, car rental agencies and airlines and is subject to the rules and restrictions of those providers. We do not own or operate any hotels, and we do not set any policies. We hope the customer understands that we must adhere to the policies dictated by the hotel. Upon receipt of the Revdex.com submission, we have verified that at the time of booking, the customer agreed to the hotel’s terms and conditions which also can be found on the face of her itinerary: • Cancellation and Change Policy: Non-Refundable The room type and rate selected are non-refundable. Should you change or cancel this reservation for any reason, your payment will not be refunded. In addition, we firmly believe that our website is equipped with recapping the details of the itinerary twice throughout the purchase path. We provide our users ample time to review the full details of the itinerary before completing the purchase. Prior to completing the booking it is stated: • This special discounted rate is non-refundable. If you choose to change or cancel this booking you will not be refunded any of the payment. In regards to the phone call the customer is claiming she was advised of a refund; the representative advised the customer that an email was sent to the hotel directly requesting a refund and requesting to waive all penalties. As stated previously, the hotel’s response was that the refund was denied as this is a non-refundable reservation. As Orbitz paid the hotel for this reservation and as we must abide by the terms and conditions agreed to at the time of booking, Orbitz is unable to issue a refund as requested.
