Departure time on emailed flight itinerary and app were different – Orbitz Hotels & Flights Review

This is probably more of a critique on Orbitz as whole, but last night I was highly inconvenienced by Orbitz's unintuitive and inaccurate application and website. The Orbitz app, the Emirates flight tracker, and my Orbitz itinerary displayed conflicting departure times. The Orbitz app was telling me my flight departs at 7:40 am local time, while my Orbitz confirmation email is telling me it departs 4:10 pm local time. Likewise, the Emirates flight tracker is telling me the flight departs at 4:10 pm. I had to speedily rush to my departure city in case the departure time was in fact 7:40. This resulted in a very expensive international phone call in order to square things away, a quick booking of a hostel room for a night and unnecessary transportation fees. It was 100% error on the part of Orbitz which resulted in me spending around 100 dollars to fix.
