You’re our first priority. Every time.

We believe everyone should be able to make financial decisions with confidence. And while our site doesn’t feature every company or financial product available on the market, we’re proud that the guidance we offer, the information we provide and the tools we create are objective, independent, straightforward — and free.

So how do we make money? Our partners compensate us. This may influence which products we review and write about (and where those products appear on the site), but it in no way affects our recommendations or advice, which are grounded in thousands of hours of research. Our partners cannot pay us to guarantee favorable reviews of their products or services. Here is a list of our partners .

Many or all of the products featured here are from our partners who compensate us. This influences which products we write about and where and how the product appears on a page. However, this does not influence our evaluations. Our opinions are our own. Here is a list of our partners and here's how we make money .

Orbitz is an online travel booking company that offers travelers both a website and an app to search and book flights, hotels, rental cars, cruises, packages and experiences. If you want to know how to book travel on Orbitz like a pro, here’s our guide for booking flights, hotels and rental cars with Orbitz.

How to book flights on Orbitz

To book a flight on Orbitz, you’ll first need to select “Flights” and enter the relevant travel information, including the type of ticket you’re booking, how many tickets you’re purchasing and the class of service you’re looking for (economy, premium economy, business class or first class).

Once you enter the details of the flight, you’ll be presented with a number of options. For instance, here are the results for a round-trip flight between Los Angeles and Los Cabos, Mexico, in economy class.

Orbitz offers useful tools to help you pick the best flight, including letting you filter and sort search results based on:

Cancellation policy.

Arrival and departure time.

Once you’ve chosen the flights based on your preferences and budget, click on the flights and follow the prompts to book. Here, we decided to book a nonstop flight on Alaska Airlines .

After confirming the details are correct, click “Check out” and you’ll be prompted to enter your payment information. Depending on the airline, you may be able to select seats. Once your payment is processed, you’ll receive a confirmation e-mail to confirm the booking.

Tips for booking travel on Orbitz

Now that you know how to book travel on Orbitz, here are some tips that can help you cut costs.

Booking the example flights and hotel above for a trip to Cabo San Lucas could cost $1,625.67 if booked separately ($835.20 for the flights and $790.47 for the Superior Room at the hotel). But by using the same dates for the same exact flights and hotel room via Orbitz packages, the total came out to $1,500.51, a savings of $125.16.

Join Orbitz Rewards to earn money toward your next hotel stay booked on Orbitz. Orbitz Rewards is Orbitz’s free rewards program and is worth joining if you’re planning to book travel through Orbitz often . You’ll receive 1%-4% of the cost of your trip (flights, hotels, packages and activities) in “Orbucks” that you can use toward your next hotel booking.

Use Rakuten or TopCashBack to earn extra cash back on your Orbitz booking. Rakuten and TopCashBack are great tools to get cash back on your Orbitz bookings. For example, right now you can earn up to 7% cash back on your Orbitz hotel bookings through TopCashBack by creating a TopCashBack account, searching for Orbitz on the TopCashBack website and being redirected to Orbitz’s website to make your booking.

Agent booked flight correct and hotel dates wrong!!!

This is the first time I’ve had an issue with Orbitz and use them all the time this time I called spoke with an agent who booked the correct flight dates in my hotel incorrect out of the country. Thank goodness I realize before I left to go on vacation. I can only imagine going out the country and them telling me they have no room booked for me. I called to get the issue corrected I was on the phone for an one hour and a half and told a supervisor will call me back which was unacceptable because there should’ve been someone I could speak to right away then I was told they will call me back in 10 to 20 minutes I never got a callback until two hours later. I called back spoke to a supervisor for One hour and a half who had me on hold for 30 minutes never came back to the line never showed any empathy about my concern. When she came back to the line 30 minutes later after telling me she was going to review the call she tells me sorry I have to pay for anything extra. Which again is unacceptable because I didn’t cause this error she hung up on me and never called me back. This was a total of three hours that I spent trying to get my vacation rectified only to have to call back again to speak with another supervisor who then finally accommodated me. This was the worst service that I’ve ever had with Orbitz. It really has me questioning going forward if I will continue to use them.

Orbitz App Troubleshooting

After spending s few days researching the hotels, it became obvious that I needed to book soon. Using a wireless PC, I spent about 3 days in a row trying to book the trip, only to see error messages about technical difficulties. We had a power outage and I was using the phone app. It was working, except not showing where I could select “nonstop” flights. Again, having major problems getting the trip booked. Every time I’d go thru the process to book the trip, an error message would say that one of my flights just got sold out. This was in error!! What was happening was that the flights and 3 trips were charged to my card, when the message said they were sold out. Consequently, I missed out on getting the flight time that I wanted, because the others said they were sold out. Not happy with this at all. If anyone is able to rectify this (and now the hotel is showing as less expensive), please advise ASAP.

Horrible Customer Service!!

First of all I’m a loyal customer to Orbitz I always use their services when it comes to my travels needs but not until March 17,2021 when I purchased car rental along with the insurance. When I tried to pick up my car at Payless in San Diego they said that they are franchise so they don’t take any car insurance from what orbitz has offer. They even told me to call orbitz to get the refund so I did call right away and they submitted the refund request. After 12 days I called them back to follow up on my refund the customer service from orbitz has no record at all on my case so they put me on hold for so long so they can contact Payless in San Diego they said that they never respond. I told them I paid orbitz why not just refund my money they said that they need to confirm with Payless. So they called again and emailed but no response. She ended up told me that once she receives an email from Payless they will refund right away just wait for an email. So It’s almost a month now I called them again to find out what is the status of my refund guess what same answer from Orbitz customer service no record at all on my 2 conversation and I had to go through the same process that they did before. This company is Horrible with their customer service!!!! they put me on hold again waited for more than 30 minutes still no refund.

The North Carolina Retirement Systems encourages you to review your tax withholding preferences each year or when you have a life event that may have tax implications.  

Federal and State tax withholdings can be viewed in your ORBIT account. These can be modified at any time through your secure ORBIT Self- Service account, but please note that any changes made to your election will not be displayed in ORBIT until the effective date.  

To review or change your tax withholding:  

• Log in to ORBIT  
• Click “Maintain Tax Withholding Election” in the left navigation  
• Your current elections for Federal and State tax withholding will be displayed on the screen  
• Click ‘Edit’ to make changes to your withholding
• Tax Withholding change history is also displayed on this page  
• Changes can be made at any time and will take place on the Effective Date shown on the screen  

Federal Income Tax

Unless you specify a monthly withholding rate or amount for federal taxes, your pension account will default to the rate of "married" with three allowances. If you have already designated a withholding preference, no action is required.

You may elect to have federal and/or North Carolina income tax withheld or not withheld from your retirement benefit.

Your election will remain in effect until you revoke it. You may also change your election online at any time during the year by logging into your personal, secure ORBIT account and following the instructions to change your tax withholding. An election or revocation received by the 10th of the month will be effective that month. If a change is not received by the 10th, it will likely be effective the next month. If you are in the process of retiring and using our online retirement application, you will make your tax withholding elections as a part of the process.

Still having trouble understanding what tax withholdings are and how to determine your filing status? The IRS explains tax withholding concepts further on their website .

Benefits from the North Carolina Retirement Systems (NCRS) receive special income tax treatment. However, NCRS cannot give you detailed tax advice concerning your retirement benefits. If you need more specific information with regard to how your retirement benefits are taxed, we suggest you consult the Internal Revenue Service, the North Carolina Department of Revenue, your attorney, or your accountant.   

North Carolina Income Tax

Unless you specify a monthly withholding rate or amount for state taxes, your pension account will default to the rate of "single" with zero allowances. This means that more money may be deducted from your benefit payment each month if you do not log in to ORBIT and designate your withholding preferences. If you have already designated a withholding preference or are exempt from paying state taxes, no action is required.

Benefits from the North Carolina Retirement Systems (NCRS) receive special income tax treatment. However, NCRS cannot give you detailed tax advice concerning your retirement benefits. If you need more specific information with regard to how your retirement benefits are taxed, we suggest you consult the Internal Revenue Service, the North Carolina Department of Revenue, your attorney, or your accountant. 

1099R Income Tax Statements

Each year, by January 31, a Form 1099-R (similar to Form W-2, Statement of Income and Tax Withheld, that you received annually while you were working) will be available to you. Form 1099-R shows the amount of your retirement benefits, the taxable portion (if any), the amount of tax withheld (if any) and related information. Copies will also be sent to the Internal Revenue Service and North Carolina Department of Revenue. Therefore, you should report your retirement benefits on your federal and state tax returns regardless of whether you owe any income tax.  

 You can now update your delivery preference in ORBIT. Log in to your ORBIT account and click 1099/W-2 in the left navigation. Select e-Delivery and your 1099/W-2 will only be uploaded to your ORBIT account where you can download and print. This is the quickest and easiest way to access this important tax document.  If you have not selected e-Delivery, your 1099/W-2 will be mailed to you by January 31.  

To opt-in for paperless tax documents, you need to update your preference by December 31.  

 Access and print your tax documents in ORBIT.

After you have officially retired and are receiving monthly benefits, you will be subject to the reemployment provisions described below if you perform work in any capacity for an employer under the same Retirement System from which you retired. These provisions may require you to work under an earnings limitation or to re-enroll as a contributing member of the Retirement System.  

 You will be subject to reemployment provisions based on the nature of the work you perform for an employer under the same Retirement System from which you retired, regardless of your job classification or your technical employment status (which may include being assigned to work for the employer by a private company such as a temporary staffing agency). 

In ORBIT, you can view your annual Return-To-Work allowance.  

• Click “View Earnable Allowance” in the left navigation  
• Your annual earnable allowance for re-employment purposes is shown for the calendar year
