Appy day! Orbitz named best travel app

Orbitz wins Best Travel App at Appy Awards

We love that you love our app, but we’re also pretty excited that our quick and nimble little guy got some love at the fourth annual APPY Awards, held at the Crowne Plaza in Times Square this week. The awards honor applications on all platforms and are dedicated to acknowledging creativity andexcellence in app design.

Winners of the APPYs are selected by a group of technology experts across industries who take months to comb through thousands of entries before naming winners in 40 categories. The Orbitz app for Flights, Hotels and Cars won the APPY in the travel category based on its ability to easily search flights, hotels and car rentals and for the seamless integration of Facebook, Google Wallet and the Orbitz Rewards loyalty program within the app, which allows members to always earn more on the mobile app – 5% on hotels and 2% on flights.

“Orbitz is honored to take home the APPY Award for Best Mobile App in the travel category,” said Chris Brown, group vice president, mobile. “Orbitz Flights, Hotels, Cars was built from the ground up by a team of talented in-house developers and designers who took a lot of time to make sure the app was lightning fast, easy and had the best travel tools available for our customers whether at home or on-the-go. The honor of receiving theAPPY lets us know that we’ve built a great product for consumers.”  Orbitz.com is the #1 way to book travel on a mobile device. Download now at www.orbitz.com/mobile.
