About OrbTickets

OrbTickets is an online travel agency based in Florida that sells airline tickets and other travel services such as hotel stays and rental cars. Operating through its website, orbtickets.com, the company positions itself as an intermediary between travelers and airlines or other travel providers, handling booking, itinerary changes, and cancellations for a fee. Public listings and its own terms describe it as an airline ticket agency and independent travel service, not an airline itself.

A charge from “ORB TICKETS” or “OrbTickets” on a card statement typically relates to purchasing or modifying travel arrangements, such as booking airline tickets, reserving a hotel, or arranging a rental car through their agents or website. Their terms note that they charge separate pre‑ticketing and post‑ticketing service fees on a per‑passenger or per‑booking basis, so customers may see more than one line item: one from the airline or travel provider and one from OrbTickets for its service fee. Some users may also see pending authorizations when a booking is being confirmed or changed, which can later settle or drop off depending on whether the transaction was completed.

If you’re unsure about an OrbTickets charge, start by searching your email (including spam) for confirmations from orbtickets.com, checking any recent flight, hotel, or car rental plans to match dates and amounts. Their customer service can be reached using the contact information on orbtickets.com to request receipts, clarify what was booked, or dispute unexpected fees. Because the company has a history of complaints and confusion around pricing and service charges, it’s especially important to review their terms and conditions, verify the fare rules, and, if necessary, contact your card issuer promptly if you suspect unauthorized activity or misrepresentation of costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see two separate charges when I booked a flight with OrbTickets?

OrbTickets’ terms explain that your account may show separate charges—one from the airline or other travel provider for the base fare and taxes, and another from OrbTickets for its service and reservation processing fee. Both together correspond to the total you agreed to when completing the booking.

What types of service fees does OrbTickets charge for bookings and changes?

According to OrbTickets’ published terms, they charge pre‑ticketing and post‑ticketing service fees per passenger and per ticket, with amounts that vary based on ticket value and whether the trip is domestic or international. Similar service fees also apply to car and hotel reservations, often as flat fees or percentages of the booking value.

How can I cancel or change a flight I booked through OrbTickets?

To cancel or change a flight booked via OrbTickets, you generally must contact OrbTickets directly rather than the airline, since they control the agency booking. Use the phone number or email listed on orbtickets.com and have your booking reference and passenger details ready; any airline penalties will apply in addition to OrbTickets’ own change or cancellation service fees.

How do I request a refund from OrbTickets if my trip was cancelled?

Refunds for bookings made through OrbTickets depend on the airline or supplier’s fare rules and OrbTickets’ own service‑fee policies. Contact OrbTickets support with your confirmation number and ask whether your ticket is refundable or eligible for credit. If a refund is allowed, expect airline penalties and OrbTickets’ post‑ticketing service fees to be deducted from the amount returned.

Is it normal to see a pending or small temporary charge from OrbTickets on my card?

It can be normal to see a temporary or pending authorization when OrbTickets is verifying your payment method or attempting to issue tickets. These authorizations may not finalize if the booking fails or is cancelled; they usually drop off automatically after a few days if no final charge is posted.

What should I do if I don’t recognize an OrbTickets charge for a car rental or hotel?

First check any recent searches or phone calls you made to book travel—many OrbTickets transactions originate from phone bookings when customers think they are calling an airline or rental company. Look for confirmation emails from orbtickets.com. If you still don’t recognize the charge, contact OrbTickets immediately for details and then speak with your card issuer to dispute the transaction if necessary.

How can I contact OrbTickets about a billing or booking issue?

You can reach OrbTickets using the customer service phone numbers and email addresses listed on orbtickets.com, such as their reservations email and support lines published in public directories and on review sites. Have your itinerary number, travel dates, and the exact amount charged ready so they can locate your booking quickly.

Does cancelling with OrbTickets always cancel the airline ticket or hotel reservation?

Not always. Because OrbTickets acts as an intermediary, a cancellation request must be processed correctly with both the agency and the airline or supplier. When you cancel through OrbTickets, ask for written confirmation that the underlying ticket or reservation has been voided or cancelled and whether any residual credits or refunds apply, then monitor your card statement to ensure no additional charges appear.
