Expedia.com Review Summary

Online travel services are in great abundance and one of the most popular of them all is Expedia.com, a travel web service that offers flights, hotel reservations, car rentals, cruises, and more. Expedia.com “Finds Real Deals and Saves Your Itineraries” and these are among the many reasons why most reviewers like Expedia.com as much as they do. Expedia.com is easy to use and offers good deals, but some reviewers are also quick to note that Expedia.com is really just a middleman, and that means the prices might be slightly higher than those offered by the airline, hotel, cruise business, or car rental business itself. But Expedia.com is still a very good Travel Web Site for those who want to find different travel services all in one place.

In some of my future reviews you will find that I will talk a lot about my experiences as being a former employee for a large airline for seven years. There is so much to learn for even all of you frequent flyers out there - so here is my opinion on expedia.com. — With some deals that… read full review »

A website with tons of travel information to allow you to make the best decision according to your budget and needs. I use Expedia more than any other travel website for hotel accommodations because they run the full gamut of availabilities in all price ranges, and offer comprehensive information, pictures, maps, and reviews for those facilities viewed. When searching the site, you can also fine tune your search around a specific facility or attraction, opening the possibilities of eliminating the need to rent a vehicle. — Expedia offers some very attractive bundled… read full review »

The Good News — With Expedia, you're not required to book both ways on the same airline, but you can if you're a Frequent Flyer with anyone in particular. This flexible feature is actually part of the reason the rates are so low. You can also view the available seats before choosing any flight leg. — Not sure what you want to do, but see a few flights you like? Save your itinerary and come back later, when you travel plans are firm. This is a HUGE time saver. — — If you've just searched for… read full review »

What I like most about this site, is being able to read the review of other travelers. When we were planning our family vacation to Disneyworld, I visited expedia almost everyday. I researched resorts we were considering staying at, and I actually chose one based on the reviews I read on expedia. — It's extremely helpful to be able to see what each resort offers BEFORE I get there. I love that expedia lets me know when and what facilities aren't accessible during my visit. If I hadn't visited this site, I would have not known that one of the pools was going to be… read full review »

Around Christmas time my husband and I take a get away trip to Vegas. We don't go every year but we have gone there 2 times using Expedia and we are in the process of planning our 3rd trip with Expedia. — We have never had any problems with Expedia because they offer so much info. You can see where your hotel is located on a map, look at your rooms before you stay, see what others have to say about that hotel. Not to mention...my favorite part...you can change the departure time on your tickets (we like to sleep in a bit!) You can order event tickets and rent a car too. We've not used… read full review »

Many of you have probably happily booked on Expedia and why not? It's easy to book and they answer the phone quick when they are trying to sell a flight.The site allows you to see nearby airports and compare flights from them, but a lot of sites do that. I like this feature though. — Domestically, you'll find this site to be a quick and easy place to buy a ticket and find flights on multiple airlines. You might save a bit by buying from the airline's own site though. Check here first to find a flight (among other sites) but book elsewhere. — Expedia charges you $5 to book a… read full review »

*****PLEASE READ THIS***** — Recently, my boyfriend and I booked a trip to Jamaica through Expedia.com. Unfortunately, due to Hurricane Gustav, we had to change our itinerary at the last minute (the day before we were scheduled to leave). After 8 long hours talking to Expedia representatives on the phone, my boyfriend and I decided to change our itinerary to going to Los Cabos, Mexico. I spent several hours on the phone with a rep trying to change our itinerary last minute. I was informed that the hotel in Cabo was $418 more than the hotel in Jamaica. We also had to change our… read full review »

First, let me describe to you what Expedia.com is.. Expedia.com allows you to make your travel arrangements much easier by offering a service that is beyond high-quality. You can basically search for Airfare, Lodging, Car Rentals, Vacation Packages, and Cruises; as well as news and information that is occuring in the travel industry or at the location you wish to travel to.User-Friendly, High-Speed, and Accurate — Expedia.com has to be the easiest way to find the information you are looking for.

One of my sons booked a trip to Rio through expdia.com. This was not his first trip to Brazil, and he was familiar with the customs, etc. After the first 2 weeks of his vacation (he had planned to be ther for a month) he called me to say there was some sort of turmoil going on in the city he was staying in and wanted to get home asap. As i spoke to him, he said someone ran by him waving an automatic rifle. I called expedia.com and was told I had to contact the airline (Northwest) directly. When I did that, they told me to call expedia, not them. It took 40 minutes to find out I really did… read full review »

Best Travel Site By Far!

MAR

In my travels I have found that Expedia usually has the lowest prices by far compared to it's competitors like priceline, cheaptickets, and etc. Expedia also has more locations for hotels and flights. I don't know if it's because they have connections with more airlines and hotels, but they almost always have the best deals. The customer service is also great if there are any issues you need to resolve. I've saved a thousand dollars on a trip to cancun mexico compared to the other sites I've visited. If you are going to use Expedia, you should look at some… read full review »

Went to a Jamaica and they stranded us!!!!!!!

Expedia is awful! We went to Jamaica got there and the hotel said we had no reservations! It really ruined our trip. We finally got into a hotel but it was a nerve wracking experience. That hotel wanted US to give them $1000 a night to stay there! Expedia would not assist us when we called (yes from Jamaica!) and would not refund any of my money! They got $3000 from me and then sent us to another country with no reservations! My husband and I had already been stressed enough before we got there but this almost caused him to have another heart attack. It dampered the whole trip! WE WILL… read full review »

I use Expedia ALL the time. They make it very easy to search for flights and vacation packages. You can also book cars and hotels.. The hotels section is great..You can actually SEE what the hotels looks like and they list everything about it. Plus you can get "special" rates on available to Expedia. The car rental section has that. too. I like how you can search and then pick the best deals. They also have a great bargains section. The only problem I have had with them is that you can't use older browsers on their site. It either crashes or won't work. I highly recommend… read full review »

When I was getting ready to book a trip to Atlanta for Labor Day weekend and needed to be near a specific event, I tried just about every travel site there is and came up empty (the only hotels that apparently had rooms available were too far away/I had no idea exactly where they were supposed to be). I finally logged on to Expedia, and there was a room at a hotel everyone else claimed wasn't available for the nights I requested. Needless to say, I bookd that room immediately, and it's been comfirmed today, just a few days after the fact. And I couldn't be… read full review »

best rates

I have been using expedia for years for my travel plans. I think it offers the best rates compared to the other websites which i always check out as well to compare the rates on flights, hotel, and car rentals. The customer service leaves a little to be desired when i recently made a reservation on this website and then saw they had the same thing published for $300 less an hour later I called and was on hold or being transferred around for literally 45 minutes. In the end they were accomodating though and came to a resolution both of us were happy… read full review »
