1 Person Pricing Never put in more than 1 traveler when searching for a flight for 2 or more people Depending on the fare class, you could pay a higher price.

International Airlines When booking directly through an international airline operating out of the U.S. watch for Credit Card Charge Fee’s. Orbitz.com sells through most carriers and charges a small fee. Take time to compare the two.

Seat Selection When traveling with a companion, always choose window/aisle combination Better chances the middle seat will remain open….. If the middle seat gets selected, the person sitting in the middle won’t complain about having to move to an aisle/window.
