Sometimes it makes more sense to book directly with the airline or hotel. With an OTA, you can quickly compare most of your options.Įven though OTAs offer quite a few benefits, you might not always want to book through one.

If you want to see how much it costs to fly from Denver to Chicago, it would take a lot of time to go to each airline's site individually. OTAs also can make it much easier to compare different rates.Some travelers may not have a choice of where to book their flights, for example, if you’re booking with credit card rewards points you will be tied to that booking portal in some cases.
#Does orbitz let you change dates of hotel booked free#
airlines only allow this within 24 hours of booking (and foreign airlines may not allow free changes or cancellations at all for flights that aren’t subject to US regulations).


It's actually not a completely free night, "but rather" 10% of the average cost of the ten nights that you stayed. For example, has a rewards program that offers you one night "free" after staying for ten nights.
