Dear Ms. [redacted],
The Revdex.com has shared your recent correspondence pertaining to an airline booking made through our site. I appreciate the opportunity to review your account and respond to your concerns. My understanding...

is that a reservation was made in your name on May 25, 2015, and
a charge to your credit card for $1013.09. You are stating that you never booked this and are requesting a refund.
On behalf of Orbitz, I apologize for any inconvenience. In review of the booking, this was made through our contact center by an agent. The booking was made in your account, on your credit card, and it is for self-travel. Our Customer service team has also investigated and found that there was no error made.
Unfortunately, the ticket is nonrefundable, but can be exchanged for another ticket by May 25, 2016.
At that time, the airline will charge a $200.00 change fee and any additional fare difference, if applicable. Since the ticket was issued by[redacted] Airlines, and a portion of this ticket was on [redacted]
Airlines, the fare rules determine if the ticket can be refunded. Since this ticket is nonrefundable, we are
unable to waive those fare rules.
Thank you for reaching out to us in this matter. We regret we are unable to offer a refund in this
situation.
Sincerely,
[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 case number [redacted]) regarding hotel reservations. We understand the customer is requesting refund for their reservations.
Our records indicate on February 2, 2016, the customer booked hotel reservations – itinerary [redacted] – using the self-service tool on the Orbitz website. Hotel accommodations were at the Tel-Aviving Apartments, checking on March 9, 2016, for six nights.
Upon further research, we were able to confirm on March 25, 2016, that Orbitz processed a full refund in the amount of $469.16 back to the original forms of payment and deposited a $100.00 Orbucks (Electronic Travel Coupon) into the customer’s Orbitz account.
The amount of time it takes for the customer to receive a refund depends on how quickly their credit card company processes refunds.
We hope that with the information provided, we have addressed all of the customer’s concerns and look forward to assisting them further with their future travel needs.
If you have any further questions or concerns regarding this matter, please feel free to contact us.
Sincerely,

We tried to book a flight to Norfolk, Va. at a good price on Orbitz. After we filled in all the desired information including billing info (this took us a while and it is many pages long). It 'kicked' us back to the beginning saying something to the effect of an error occured. We were very discouraged and unable to find a phone number or email to help us. We had already had a negative experience trying to find a flight, but at least it happened at the beginning of the process. It was sort of like a 'bait and switch' tactic where they would have a cheap flight but then when I clicked on details it said 'sorry no more tickets available at that price. It is now' and it would be doubled.

Mr. [redacted],
The Revdex.com has shared your recent correspondence pertaining to your original seating assignments no longer showing confirmed. On behalf of Orbitz, I apologize for any confusion, and appreciate the...

opportunity to review your account and respond to your concerns.
I certainly apologize for the information provided by [redacted] and that the reasoning for your seating assignment change was not properly explained when contacting Orbitz or the airline. Please know that Orbitz does not access an account to change seating assignments unless it is specifically requested.
Mr. [redacted], your seating assignments were changed due to the airline imposed schedule changes that occurred on your flights back in March. When the airline changes a flight schedule, the new flight segment will be added to the record for confirmation, but your original seating assignment is not carried over with the change. Seating assignments will be based on what is available on the new flight being offered when the change occurs.
Mr. [redacted], we certainly regret your disappointment; however, this is not something that is in the control of Orbitz. I am not able to cover the costs to upgrade your seating assignments; however, as a gesture of our sincerity, Orbitz would like to offer you a $75 USD future travel voucher on your next prepaid Orbitz.com airline, hotel or vacation package booking. Our voucher is meant to emphasize our commitment to you, and we remain hopeful you will continue using Orbitz for your travel planning needs.

Here are the instructions for the future travel voucher:

When you make your next booking on Orbitz.com, please forward a copy of the Orbitz Travel Document e-mail to us at [redacted]@Orbitz.com. Please reference case number XXXXXXX and my letter offering the $75 voucher in your request. Orbitz will then issue a credit to the card used for the new booking. This offer is valid until June 18, 2016.
Mr. [redacted], thank you again for the opportunity to address your concerns. We appreciate your business, and we hope you will provide us with a future opportunity to serve you with your travel planning needs.
Sincerely,

To Orbitz Management and various state and local Revdex.com offices;
Orbitz, you have absolutely the WORST customer service response rate in the entire travel industry. 1 hour hold times IF you can get through to ANY incompetent contractor in India who has NO IDEA how to take care of anything. NO ENGLISH SPEAKING SUPERVISORS. A form letter response 24 hours later to an urgent email with someone at the airport.
If you cannot take care of issues, you should not be allowed to sell in Missouri. Understaffed, incompetent, outsourced contractors who do not clearly speak or understand English and are unwilling to work for the help of your customers is my EXPERIENCE with Orbitz. It has gotten much worse since the acquisition by [redacted]. Total incompetence...
Every time I have called "we are experiencing high call volumes, please wait and your call will be answered "sometime in the future"."
You are great if all goes right, never helpful when anything goes wrong as it often does when travelling.
Your previous customer,

for your flight credit. On behalf of Orbitz, I apologize for this disappointing experience and any inconvenience it has caused. I appreciate the opportunity to review this matter and assist you with your concerns.
Unfortunately, our call recordings do not date back to April 2013, and the agent's documentation in the account is not specific about the expiration date. Therefore, we would like to offer you an Orbitz travel voucher for the remaining value of the airline tickets, minus the $150 Virgin America change fee per ticket that would have been charged at the time of rebooking.
The amount of your voucher is $466 and we hope you will accept this as a gesture of our sincerity and goodwill.

Here are the instructions for the future travel voucher:

When you make your next booking on Orbitz.com, please forward a copy of the Orbitz Travel Document e-mail to us at [email protected].

Today May 18th, 2015 I searched for flights from Newport News, VA to Flint, MI. Because I was flexible in my dates I looked up their +/- 3 days flexibility log. It showed two great deals opposed to my original dates. Sadly when I clicked on the options of July 15th through 21st and July 15th through 22nd they did not hold true. The advertised price was 269.20 and 267.70 respectively for those dates. However when I went to investigate and book it was more like $353 and $330 respectively. I called the customer service number and after playing their gambit opted for the call back option when they were ready. 27 minutes later I was called back and placed on hold for an additional 8 minutes. I explained my situation and was placed on hold for an extended period of time yet again where I met a sales rep. After finally explaining things to her she placed me on hold several times and refused to confirm the same thing I and multiple friends (backed with screen shots) saw.

Why does someone have to wait almost 30 minutes to speak to a representative after entering your record locator # on your phone system and then having to wait to talk to another agent then again another 20 minutes later because its an international reservation. they knew that from the initial enumeration of the record locator number the first time - an hour and a half of nonsense.

Dear Mr. [redacted]
The Revdex.com has shared your recent correspondence pertaining to the package booking and compensation due to errors. I appreciate the opportunity to review your account and respond to your concerns.
From...

your complaint, you booked an air, hotel and car as a package on April 16, 2014 for a departure on May 23, 2014. This issue was the car and hotel reservations; the car reservation was not honored, and the hotel booking could not be located at the hotel. You are asking for a refund of the car, insurance and additional car related bookings due to the error. Furthermore; your perception of Orbitz has become discontented due to the service you have received.
Ms. [redacted] I do understand your concern in this regard; travel can be a hectic experience, and Orbitz does try to meet the expectations of our customers with current information made available on the website.
All vehicle type listings, rates, and availability found on the Orbitz.com website, as with any Internet travel website, are provided and maintained directly by the individual car rental company. As a website, we display to our customers, the information that is provided to us from the specific rental-car providers. We certainly apologize for any misunderstanding that you may have had with the cost of the vehicle. However, we feel that Orbitz properly disclosed the terms and conditions of the sale during the booking process.
On your behalf, I have voiced your feedback to the Car services group. They will contact the rental company to review the complaint. Our hope is that this valued criticism will allow them an opportunity to adjust their information and modify how their company's policies are presented before the public.
Feedback such as yours is critical to the operational side of our business; I thank you for bring this matter to our attention.
According to my research, Orbitz has refunded the original car payment to Dollar; this was processed on May 27, 2014 in the amount of $62.54.
Due to the circumstances, I am willing to review the receipts for the additional car expenses. If you can forward a copy of the receipt along with any documentation regarding the travel insurance as I would need to verify if insurance was used for the new car rental.
We take our customers' comments very seriously, and I thank you for your honest feedback.
Ms. [redacted] we thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. Your business is truly valued, and we hope you will provide us with a future opportunity to serve you with your travel planning needs.

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:I am a non-smoker. I was not smoking. What evidence are they providing of this? My original complaint addressed not only this bogus smoking charge but the shabbiness of the hotel room. After making several complaints to the front desk about the smell of stale cigarette smoke and stained carpeting and drapes, the Hotel replied by issuing me a smoking penalty. I stand by my original demand: refund of hotel fees and smoking penalty.

Dear Ms. [redacted],
Thank you again for your follow-up response, and I appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns.
We certain regret to hear of your continued disappointment, but every effort was made to assist you with the airline schedule changes that occurred with your reservations.  When any type of change was updated in your record, action was taken.  Unfortunately, seating assignments are not guaranteed, and will be affected when major schedule changes occur. 
Ms. [redacted], we apologize for the inconveniences the airline imposed schedule change has caused, but these are out of the control of Orbitz.  A $100 future travel voucher was issued in March due to your disappointment in the schedule change, and we are unable to offer any further compensation.  We do appreciate your business, and hope that we have a future opportunity to serve you.

I am writing to regarding my trip to Riviera Maya from Dec 24,2014 to Dec 31st 2014. My record locator is PBORB-XXX-XXX-XXXX.

My family and I had decided to save up all year last year to make a fun family trip to Riviera Maya. We worked hard to save the money it took to make the trip. We looked at Orbitz reviews and identified a well reviewed and well represented hotel - [redacted] in Riviera Maya. We were a party of 5 and it was an expensive reservation for a resort but we thought it would be well worth it at $8500.

Since we have a young kid, I called the resort a couple of days ago to confirm reservation and check on availability of oven and things like that. They confirmed my reservation on Dec 22,2014 over phone. We arrived in Cancun airport on Dec 25th morning and after procuring a rental car, drove 2 hours to [redacted]. We were tired, hungry and waiting to get to our rooms to sleep and refresh. We arrived at [redacted] and I presented my information to the reception desk. After a flurry of discussion among them in Spanish (which I do not understand), I was asked to talk to the manager. The Manager informed me that Orbitz had moved our reservation to a different resort. I was shocked. My young kid started crying in tiredness and we were disappointed. We had a reservation. How could this happen to us?. The Manager pretended that he did not understand my English arguments and suggested I take it up with Orbitz. He said our reservation was moved to [redacted] which was an hour's drive away.

We were vacationing with our friends in [redacted] who had arrived the day before. They had made reservations through a different site and they were checked in fine. We were now kicked out to a different place. Suffice to say, this was a horror unfolding for us. Our vacation was completely screwed up- plans laid to waste. $8500 really down the drain.

I demand a response for this. Orbitz has been trying to reach the hotel by phone, email and what not to hear what happened. No response. And I am supposed to wait forever? Is this how Orbitz treats its customers who spend their hard earned money to go on a vacation. Once my vacation is paid, does Orbitz even care about me? If I had a similar experience with a product on Amazon and complained to their customer service, I would first be refunded- no questions asked. Then they would take down the listing for the product until their investigation was complete. Would Orbitz treat the customer the same way? Does Orbitz really care?. When I make a reservation for a listing on Orbitz, I assume they have done their due diligence on the property and stand behind their listing. Do they?

After hours and multiple calls with customer service, the most Orbitz offered me was comforting words and a measly $200 credit for future travel. I declined it. Maybe Orbitz execs should keep it and travel to [redacted] - I am sure they will treat you well. What a shame.
