How do I book a one-way flight and hotel on Expedia?

Booking a Flight and Hotel together on Expedia is a straightforward process that can often save you money through "bundling." While Expedia is famous for round-trip packages, you can easily customize a booking for a one-way journey.

Step 1: Navigate to the "Packages" or "Bundle and Save" Tab

Open the official Expedia website or mobile app.
On the homepage menu, select Packages (sometimes labeled as Bundle and Save).
Select the option that says Flight + Hotel.

Step 2: Enter Your Travel Details

Origin and Destination: Enter your departure city and your destination.
Dates: Select your travel dates.
One-Way Flight Configuration:
- By default, the system may assume a round-trip flight. Look for a toggle or tab that says One-way (often located above the "Departing" date field).
- If you cannot find a specific "One-way" toggle within the Package search, you may need to use the "Build your own trip" feature. Alternatively, you can book the hotel for your specific dates first, and then add a one-way flight separately. Expedia will often ask if you want to add a flight after you select a hotel, allowing you to choose a one-way ticket at that stage.

Step 3: Select Your Hotel

Expedia will display a list of hotels in your destination.
Use the filters on the left-hand side to sort by Price, Guest Rating, or Neighborhood.
Click on a hotel to view room types and amenities. Select the room that fits your needs.

Step 4: Select Your Flight

Once the hotel is selected, you will be prompted to choose your flight.
Ensure the flight listed is One-way. If the system defaults to round-trip, check the "Refine Search" or "Edit" options to switch to one-way.
Pay attention to baggage fees and airline restrictions, which will be displayed before you confirm.

Step 5: Review and Checkout

Review the total price. This should include your Hotel reservation and your One-way Flight.
Enter the traveler information exactly as it appears on your government-issued ID.
Complete the payment to finalize the booking. You will receive a confirmation email with your itinerary.
