Flight on generic site not found when searching on booking site

score:3

Accepted answer

This happens a lot. What happens is sometimes the flight aggregators like google and kayak do not have updated prices and inventory amounts. The reason is that these sites are aggregators that either scrape or get a delayed feed.

Meanwhile, sites like Orbitz are GDS's or have direct relationships with GDS's, enabling them to directly manage the inventory and price management of global flights for multiple airlines.

Because of this, especially for very popular flights during busy times, you may end up seeing different prices for flights between aggregators and the travel agencies (i.e. expedia, orbitz, etc.).
