Hi all
I found some decent deals on orbitz, but as a Swiss resident, I can't book them… Any solutions for this? Thanks!

Assuming the flights are regular published fares, then you should be able to find the same ones on other websites and if the flights are all with the same airline then through the airline's site. Here are some links for Expedia or Travelocity sites that you should be able to use. There are plenty of other sites that you could use. Just make sure they are going to be e-tickets to avoid delivery problems.

Just as long as the flights are regular published fares then you should be able to find them on other websites, since Orbitz requires you to be a resident of certain countries. If all with one airline then try that airline's site or try other popular online travel agencies' international sites nearby like ones for the UK or Germany or France or Italy. http://www.expedia.ch/ redirects to the last three countries' websites but even Expedia.com (US) should let you book it. Travelocity has localized sites for all of the mentioned countries also and there's gotta be some others based out of Switzerland you may prefer, as well. Just make sure if not a Swiss-based site that you're getting e-tickets to avoid paper ticket delivery problems.
