I've tried the beta-version of Orbitz and liked it. The market is big enough for all three sites to compete and for niche smaller online travel sites. DOT approved Orbitz and I'm sure will be watching to ensure anti-competitive practices do not hurt the consumer. The attached article in Aviation Now is pretty good.
