This is weird…right now I’m trying to book a flight for a long weekend, NY-Chicago, and search fares for Chicago-Taipei.
United’s web site is completely down: OK, that I can accept. But Orbitz is telling me there are absolutely no flights from Chicago to New York on a Friday morning, returning Monday evening? That’s impossible! Most major airlines have several flights a day, at least, between Chicago and New York! Something is definitely wrong. Or am I just caffeine-deprived?
It’s likely just stupid web tricks. I’ve booked through Delta’s site for dozens of flights, and see that flights listed there are not shown on Expedia sometimes, and sometimes flights shown on Expedia are not on Delta’s site…sometimes a regular flight I know should be there is not. Your best bet is to call and find out.
It seems to be OK now, but actually, I wasn’t just looking for United: Orbitz wasn’t showing ANY flights for those days/times.
Oh well; it seems to have resolved itself. It wasn’t just one attempt that I made, though. Weird.
