Sounds like it varies by the agency. I'd love to have that luxury.
Do you have to have refundable fares, or can you use whatever's on Orbitz?
Policy for us seems to change all the time on this. One travel meeting I sat in on said we could buy a lower fare, but then we were responsible for any penalties, cancellations, etc. Which as I'm going to a conference, that wouldn't be an issue as unless I die, I'm going. Then I hear from travel I HAVE to use their methods of booking.
Unfortunately, I think in most cases I do a better job of arranging the hotels and car rentals than travel does.
