Fly.com Adds Orbitz; Becomes the First Airfare Search Engine to Compare All Major U.S. OTAs

Airfare search engine Fly.com™, today announced that it has started displaying fares from Orbitz, giving users the ability to compare prices from all the major U.S. online travel agencies.  Fly.com, which already compares fares from airlines, Expedia, Travelocity, Priceline, Hotwire and CheapOair, is the first airfare search engine to show results from all major online travel agencies in one view, making it the most comprehensive airfare search engine in the United States. 

"Our mission is to provide the easiest-to-use airfare search engine, with the best fares, in an uncluttered, unbiased environment," said Warren H. Chang, vice president and general manager, Fly.com.  "By adding Orbitz, we complete the picture for our millions of monthly users and give the most transparent results in the market."

Fly.com also offers many tools that help travelers find the best flight option, including: 
  • Fare calendars, available on more than 1,000 top routes, to help travelers find the best prices over a range of dates. 
  • Easy-to-use filters that help users sort results instantly.  Sort by price, number of stops, departure time, airline alliance (i.e. Oneworld, Star Alliance and SkyTeam) and more. 
  • Baggage fee information to help travelers understand the true cost of travel. 
  • Real-time Twitter fare alerts for flights from more than 40 U.S. cities. 
Fly.com is not a travel agency and does not take bookings; it compares prices and itineraries from hundreds of airline and travel websites and recommends travelers the best options for their search.  The service is free to use and available at http://www.fly.com/

Fly.com is owned by Travelzoo Inc.
