Expedia

Expedia sits in the middle of online travel booking: flights, hotels, rental cars, vacation packages, and the usual comparison tools. By our assessment, its good point is simple breadth, because it lets one search span several parts of a trip without jumping between separate sites. The downside is also simple: broad travel sites can feel cluttered, and the user still has to sort through fare rules, hotel conditions, and package differences. In practice it is a pragmatic travel planner, not a specialist for one narrow task. Compared with airline sites it is more general; compared with Booking.com it is less hotel-centered, and compared with Airbnb it is less about private stays. Expedia is a familiar name in travel, but it does not try to be glamorous; it tries to cover the trip. The limit is that the more pieces it bundles together, the more attention the booking process asks for.
