Right now, there are no plans to integrate air booking functionality onto http://mobile.orbitz.com in the near future as people don't tend to book air travel on the fly, so to speak. However, orbitz does offer flight status on mobile... and an 800-number via mobile site for hotel bookings. But again, anyone who can access a mobi browser can also just go to o.com (the orbitz mobi reservation site) to book. Thanks again! @ jwave

However, I have one issue, I can't seem to find where you can actaully book a flight, can you? Rather it seems you can only check on flights you've pre-booked online. Is that correct?

We are already advertising in O’Hare by Laptop plug-in stations…so there's some sort of start already for those of you traveling through Chicago! Though this type of information isn’t readily available through airports at the moment, we have already started looking into accessing this info for our users. Thanks again for the suggestion!
