The problem with orbitz and other opaque bidding services like that are that there's no recourse in the event of a fuckup on their part. Additionally, you're pretty much guaranteed to get a shitty flight because these are the flights that no one wants to take, that's how they get them so cheap. If you don't have any schedule as far as what time of day you want to depart and how long your layovers are, then it's not bad, but if you have any kind of itinerary these places are right out.
