I am not sure why, but the Orbitz site is a problem for a lot of people.
Most likely because it downloads so much "stuff" (ie alot of GIF's and ad's)
I have the same version of IE as you and it works fine for me, sometimes its
very slow. I think you have to have active X on, does not seem to matter
about cookies. A few people have said that clearing old cookies and temp
files fix's the problem.
