DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRAVELER AND ARRANGER
A traveler is able to book travel for themselves but not for others. They can:
- request access to the UConn Orbitz for Business site - click here
- book a ticket with a $5 agency fee to be charged to the centralized billing card or their personal credit card
- View their "My Trips" to see any trips they have booked on the OFB site
- Set their Care Alerts so that they are notified of any flight changes
- Book hotels and rental cars
- Cancel flights within 24 hours of making a booking ($5 charge still applies)
|
CAN I USE THE ORBITZ FOR BUSINESS SITE NOW IF I'M FACULTY, STAFF or STUDENT?
Faculty and Staff are able to access the site provided they are set-up in the system.
Students do not currently have access into the Orbitz site. However, their department travel arranger may be able to make them for them. Students, tickets must be purchased by a department travel arranger.

WHERE DO I BEGIN?
You need access to the system to be able to book tickets. Log on using your email address and password. If you aren't able to get into the system, please email travel for assistance.
Once you have access and are registered with Orbitz, you will be able to book your ticket and charge it to the centralized billing card.

PROFILE ADD/DELETE FORM
If you have not already done so, please be sure to send us the names, emails and other requested biographic information by submitting our newest electronic travel form. Please include only employees. You can accomplish this either by going to the profile request page or by sending Gail Devereux an email requesting access.
|
WHAT IF I JUST WANT TO REQUEST ACCESS FOR MYSELF?
We can request access either using our online access request form or you can email us. Please include:
- First and Last name (no nicknames)
- Employee number
- Affiliation (faculty or staff only, we are not giving access to students at the present time)
- Let me know if you have used ORBITZ.COM in the past or not.
I will notify you via email once you have been set up

CENTRALIZED BILLING CARD INFORMATION
OFB allows you to charge a ticket, to a centralized billing card (similar to Worldtek) as part of the reservation process. Anyone that has access to the system, will also have access to the centralized billing card.
