In general I book flights with Orbitz, but they seldom offer the hotels I want in their packages, so I book hotels separately.

Sometimes I use Orbitz, et. al, just to see which airlines fly to my desired destination. Then I'll book with the airline directly, because Orbitz, etc., doesn't always have seat availability while the airline does.
