Title: CHEAP AIR FARE SITE Post by: David W on August 15, 2001, 04:00:00 AM Hey, don't know if any of you know of this site but I just ran in it today. The address is:
www.orbitz.com It came up with a rate from my home city to Bogota $200 less than I have found anywhere (even immediately checked with travelocity). Has anyone used it before?

Yeah, Orbitz has good prices but when I've looked for round-trip flights from SFO to Bogota their return flight time selections were very sub-optimal. I've bought four round trip tickets so far from ABS Travel: 800-445-9820 http://abstravel.com America Travel had good prices but my peeve with them is that they're not willing to deliver plane tickets to my office and I'm not interested in waiting for FedEX to show up at my house or worrying about the ticket getting lost. ABS Travel made me fax them copies of my driver's license and credit card but they were quite willing to mail tickets to my office. Plus, they'll match America Travel's prices so I go with ABS. ABS Travel has lower prices if you book online. It's interesting to note that consolidators like ABS and America Travel that do lots of business in Colombia often can get you better prices than Orbitz, cheaptickets.com, Also, I don't believe Orbitz covers airlines like Lacsa/TACA which have lower prices, although, from SF, having to go through El Salvador and Costa Rica to get to Bogota has gotten old after just doing it twice. For my next trip I'm flying American (SFO--Miami--Bogota). I've had bad experiences with Lacsa (they decided I had canceled my reservation) and I know of several other people who have as well. So, since I can afford an extra couple of hundred bucks to try a different airline and a different route that's what I'm gonna do!

David, Try AmericaTravel Inc. They can be reached at: 1-305-445-7889 or 1-800-346-7889 I just ordered LAX to Cali, 9-14 to 9-24 for $642 including taxes. If you can stand not knowing the flight times in advance hotwire.com is often cheaper.

Thanks I just checked them out (hotwire.com) and orbitz was $100 cheaper and gave flight times. That might change though. Will check the other one though. Thanks though David W |
