Online travel agent Orbitz on Tuesday threw a challenge to rival companies when it said it will guarantee that tickets purchased on its Web site are the cheapest.

The company said it will give a $50 voucher to any customer who buys a ticket on Orbitz.com and can find a published fare for the same flight that is at least $5 cheaper, excluding fees.
