So I go to purchase a ticket via Orbitz.com and it's advertised at $1,642. When I select it for purchase, the site gives me this message: "We're sorry. Due to changes in airline availability, the fare for your selected trip is no longer available. We have adjusted the fares for all affected flights. The fare for your selected trip is now $1938 total. See below. (Message 1048"...an 18% increase.
Very disheartening to say the least...BUT,here's the kicker; I've been getting the same result for the last 30 days. The advertised price of the ticket has remained the same, yet there are no tickets available at that price.
Is this not false advertising? Should the company be held accountable for the services and prices they are offering, or be able to lure consumers in with teaser figures only to change them at the last minute when it's time to actually purchase? Thoughts?
