wow, I was going to do an Orbitz tkt till I found out that the outbound was a fare that earned 0 miles, yet the return flight would have earned 100%. So that meant 50% to me, yea the fare was low but since i fly with EQMs in mind that meant to get 100% I needed to double the fare amount an dthen it didnt make sense at all too high.

But if its not a MR and its more important to get to wherever it is one is heading for the least amount of $$, with EQMs being secondary. Then Orbitz is OK.

BTW after you hit the select button, it brings you to another page hit the 'continue' on the bottom of that page w/o filling in anything but picking any name, on the page that now comes up scroll to he bottom and there should be in blue 'terms & conditions' click on that and it should show you what the fare basis is. Then you have to go to whatever Carrier you want the miles to go into, to see if the fare basis Orbitz is selling actually earns miles and at what %
