		<description><![CDATA[As of December 1 there will be no American Airlines flight listings on Orbitz. Why? American wants more money from Orbitz sales.

		<description><![CDATA[
When traveling overseas, every traveler that has been using their credit cards for purchases has been socked a foreign transaction fee at the time of billing. It usually added 3% to your spending.
