Why would Orbitz put through a ticket charge as though they are actually United? As I recall, that particular ticket (JAX-EWR) was about $50 cheaper through Orbitz than on the United website. Lesson learned. I will try to avoid the OTA tickets in the future unless the difference in price is HUGE. And I will never make the same mistake I did in late 2019 and early 2020 by booking all of my 2020 travel many months ahead. Just in case something like the Corona Virus pops up again in the future.
So if my credit is with Orbitz, is that usable toward a ticket on ANY airline or just on a future UA ticket?
