HELP Canceling an Orbitz flight reservation
« on: December 23, 2010, 11:30:58 PM »
Is there any way to cancel an Orbitz flight reservation with no/minimal penalty? The flight is one Continental and is (officially) non-refundable.

If you are within 24 hours of the booking it's usually free. I'm assuming you are past that though....

Even until midnight the day after Orbitz will often let you cancel for free.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

thanks, just canceled, some Indian guy had put me 30 minutes on  hold for one stupid cancelation, I saw online 2 minutes later that it was canceled, I stayed on the phone just for the fun of it, after 30 minute when he came back I asked him why does it have to take 30 minutes,  he answered that he had kind of error, so why did I see right away online when you put me on hold that it's canceled, he didn't know what to answer me, I literally knocked down the phone after a minute.
