Orbitz Worldwide Inc is keeping up with the competition.

Suspending its online book fees for flights on Tuesday, the company has successfully escalated the price wars with other online travel agencies.

It takes heed from its peers – Expedia announced last month that it would remove booking fees until May 31st, and Priceline rid itself entirely of fees around two years ago. Travelocity has also followed suit.

If you’re looking to find cheap flights to Europe, or another faraway destination, then consider booking now, to make sure you’re getting what you pay for.
