Orbitz/Cheaptickets: False Advertising?

[Caoineag]

Strange, everytime I checked priced on the "discount" sites, its been cheaper to buy directly from the airline. Maybe because I refuse to mix and match airlines? (This saved me on an international flight when they needed to rebook me since we missed the connection and they only do that for free if you buy directly).

I have honestly never seen a discount ticket price cheaper than what was offered on the actual airline site (the discount sites seem to have a finder fee of $15-$30 per ticket).
