Orbitz.com : war of prices over US trips

If you want to travel to the United-States this summer, a new website to visit before negotiating your trip : the one who was launched on Monday June 4th by five large American airline companies. The site www.orbitz.com, founded by American, Continental, Delta, Northwest and United wants to dethrone some already well established American travel site (Expedia, Travelocity, etc.) by opening a real war of prices. Of course, they have means, as far as airline is concerned in particular. Already, a survey conducted by Andersen has allowed to notice that four out of five times , tariffs proposed by Orbitz were less expensive that those of competitors. Thus, if you visit Orbitz before leaving, you have 80% of opportunities to pay less. Quite interesting when the price of the dollar is expensive.
