24 hour Refunds Through Orbitz
Can someone with factual info kindly update us on Orbitz's current refund policy on UA and CO airfares purchased through them? Is it really refundable within (1) 4 hours; (2) 24 hours; (3) up to 10pm the next day; no refund at all. Lots of FALSE, incomplete, equivocal or outdated information floating on this issue. Thanks!

IMhO, I don't think it matters if it was UA or CO. AFAIK, Orbitz doesn't offer the 24 hr cancellation on non-refundable tickets.

I never understand this. What advantage is there to buy tickets through Orbitz? Why intentionally use a middle man?

This is incorrect. Orbitz infact does offer a "courtesy cancellation". The question is for how long since the ticket was purchased. There are some exceptions on airlines other than UA/CO but the courtesy cancellation certainly extends to non-refundable tickets bought on the latter airlines.

Orbitz Update
Just called orbitz:
OR1: How can I help you today? ME: I want to get some information. OR1: OK Go ahead with your query. ME: I want to know what Orbitz's "courtesy cancellation policy is". More specifically I want to know how long it is valid. OR1: Great Question. It is 24 hours. ME: Really? I 've also heard that one can refund tickets by 10pm of the next day. Could you please verify. OR1: Yes that's also correct. ME: Hmm...I am confused. So is it 24 hours or 10pm by the next day. OR1: Let me check with your airline: CO & UA. Yes it is 10pm of the next day. ME: So can you please kindly tell me specifically until when exactly I may cancel a ticket that was booked at 12:15am this early morning (Jan. 7th). OR1: You have until 10pm tomorrow (Jan. 8th) to cancel. 10PM Central time. After that, your ticket will become nonrefundable. ME: OK. Thank you. Still confused but narrowed the field between 24hours AND 10pm the next day. I would love to know something definitive. |

Again the question (read the first post) is: How LONG is the courtesy cancellation valid? I know that Orbitz does offer it. I am just not sure what the time window is for cancellation.
A search of that term yields: https://faq.orbitz.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/12628 What is a courtesy cancellation? Orbitz offers you the convenience to cancel your flights online through My Trips. If you cancel your flight reservation by 10 p.m. CT the day after booking, Orbitz will issue a refund for the ticket cost to your credit card automatically. No airline penalties will apply. We call this a "courtesy cancellation." Please note: The refund amount includes only the ticket cost, not any service fees. Cancellations are final, apply to all passengers and cannot be reversed. You will need to book a new reservation at current prices. Certain restrictions apply. Don't know what the youtube video is all about :confused:
