Orbitz Travel Planning Made Easy: I was prepared not to like this site since many travel sites are giant advertisements without much useful information. Not Orbitz, they provide detailed travel adn pricing information for hotels, car rentals, vacation packages and airline flight. I particularly like the fact they this site displays the actual airline, flight number and pricing details easily so comparisons can be made between different airlines and whether there are connections that have to be made. Also they have an easy to read map to locate airports across the country and see what weather conditions are like and if there are any security back-ups, very helpful in determining how much time a traveler will need to catch a flight. Only downside is the activities listed at some destinations are not really customized, but instead offer things like magazine subscriptions that can be found anywhere. Overall, I impressed with the site and will use it more often for my travel plans.
