Hotels with free cancellation are the lead offer in the Orbitz app, which books flights, hotel rooms, rental cars and activities in one place. It's a general travel booking app with a loyalty scheme attached: Orbitz Rewards members earn Orbucks on flights and hotels, then spend them on hotel stays inside the app. Booking in the app earns 4 percent back on hotels and 2 percent on flights, and mobile-only deals on last-minute rooms nearby are advertised at up to 30 percent off. Hotels can be paid for at booking or on arrival and viewed on a map with guest photos and reviews. Flights can be assembled from two separate one-way fares at a single price, round-trip car rentals booked from any airport, and attraction tickets, tours and airport shuttles added. My Trips holds record locators and gate information. Orbitz also runs an LGBTQIA travel hub listing welcoming hotels and events.
Hotels, flights, rental cars and activities booked from one app, with Orbucks on top. Orbitz Rewards members collect them on flights and hotels, at 4 percent and 2 percent respectively when booking through the app, and spend them on hotel stays.
The lead offer is hotels that can be cancelled for free, backed by app-exclusive last-minute room deals the listing puts at up to 30 percent off. Two one-way fares can be combined into one priced itinerary, cars booked round-trip from any airport, and tours, tickets and shuttles added. My Trips keeps confirmation numbers and gate details, and there is a hub listing LGBTQIA-welcoming hotels and events.
Before a trip, it is a comparison tool: searching dates, checking hotel photos and guest reviews on a map, and deciding whether to pay now or at the hotel. The two one-way fares option sometimes beats a round trip, and the Orbucks balance shows what a stay would cost after rewards.
During the trip, My Trips becomes the reference for confirmation numbers and gate changes. A late arrival in an unfamiliar city is when the mobile-only last-minute hotel deals get used. After the trip, the earned Orbucks sit waiting for the next hotel booking.
Returning Orbitz customers want the rewards, since Orbucks on both flights and hotels accumulate faster than many schemes. New users find it searching for free-cancellation hotels or last-minute deals. The LGBTQIA hub is a specific reason some travellers choose it over otherwise similar booking apps.
Only one screenshot is on the page, which is unusual for an app from a large travel brand and means little can be said about the interface from the listing. Travel booking apps generally follow a search-form-then-results pattern with maps and photo galleries for hotels, and there is no reason to expect Orbitz departs from that.
The version string 2026.43 is date-based, pointing to a release schedule tied to weeks of the year rather than feature milestones. Orbitz Worldwide, LLC is a long-established brand, and a 4.8 rating from 100K+ reviewers is strong for a booking app. The App Store is the only store linked.
Rewards on every booking
Frequent travellers who want Orbucks from flights and hotels to spend on stays.
Free-cancellation hotels
Planners who want to reserve now and keep the option to change later.
Inclusive travel planning
Travellers who value a curated list of welcoming hotels and events.
Rated 4+ and free; the app sells travel rather than features, so there is no subscription. An Orbitz Rewards account is needed to earn and spend Orbucks, and a connection is required for searching and booking. Payment details are entered to book, with a pay-at-hotel option for some rooms.
The listing does not state regional availability, ads or storage needs. Rewards rates and mobile-only deals are described as advertised, so check the terms inside the app.
Our take
A good choice for travellers who book hotels often and want rewards that actually convert into free nights, particularly if the free-cancellation default and the inclusive travel hub matter to you. If you book one flight a year and already compare prices elsewhere, the rewards will not amount to much and any booking app will do.
