I don't like Orbits. They make you register just to look at more than one fair. Their fairs don’t include a $5-$7 fee of some kind that show on Travelocity, making them look cheaper until checkout time. I've found slightly better deals on Travelocity the last 2 times I used it. Plus I like the Travelocity interface better.

I think you are mistaken - Orbitz charges $5 per ticket, capped at $10 for ore than two - that's it. And maybe you missed it, but it has that $5 fee prominently displayed right next to the fare and adds them upfor you right there:

$320 airfare

$5 service fee

$325 trip cost

I don't recall the extra charges being displayed that early last time I looked, but I could be wrong. My wife told me that tickets were $10 less a few months back on Orbits, and it turned out that their service charge not being displayed early in the flight selection process was the whole difference.

Travelocity doesn't post two prices. Travelocity once screwed up my ticket, not purchasing it when promised, forcing me to pay a higher fair. After speaking to a manager, they paid the difference. I respect that - real customer service on an Internet discounter.
