How to book a flight and hotel on the Expedia app?

Booking a vacation package or separate travel components is a straightforward process designed to save you time and money. When you use the Expedia app, you can easily manage your Reservation and secure your travel plans in just a few taps.

Step 1: Download and Log In First, ensure you have the latest version of the Expedia app installed on your mobile device. Once opened, log in to your account. Logging in is crucial because it allows you to track your Booking history, access member-only deals, and earn rewards points on eligible trips.

Step 2: Select Your Travel Type On the home screen, you will see icons for different services.

Flights: Tap on the airplane icon to search for air travel. Enter your origin, destination, and travel dates.
Hotels: Tap on the bed icon to find accommodation.
Bundles: To save money, select the "Packages" or "Bundle and Save" option. This allows you to combine a Flight and Hotel into a single Reservation, often resulting in significant discounts compared to booking them separately.

Step 3: Choose Your Flight After entering your criteria, browse through the available options. You can filter results by airline, departure time, or price. Pay close attention to the fare rules—some tickets allow for easy Rescheduling or Re-booking, while "Basic Economy" fares might be non-refundable. Select the departure and return flights that best fit your schedule.

Step 4: Select Your Hotel Next, you will be prompted to choose your accommodation. You can view hotels on a map or list view. Look for properties that offer "Free Cancellation" if you think your plans might change, as this makes Re-Reservation or cancellation much easier later. Review the room types and select the one that suits your needs.

Step 5: Review and Checkout Before paying, review your itinerary carefully. Ensure the dates, names, and package details are correct. Enter your payment information and complete the purchase. You will receive a confirmation email and the trip will appear in the "Trips" tab of the app.
