Expedia is a large online travel agency (OTA) that sells flights, hotels, car rentals, vacation packages, cruises and activities through expedia.com and its mobile app. The site aggregates inventory from airlines, hotel chains, independent properties and third-party suppliers worldwide, letting shoppers compare prices, schedule options and basic amenities across many providers in one place. Expedia also bundles services into flight+hotel packages that often reduce the combined price versus booking each leg separately.
Because Expedia is an intermediary, many reservations are held with partner suppliers rather than Expedia itself. That makes it convenient to research and book varied itineraries, but customers should always check supplier-specific rules for cancellations, changes and ancillary fees. Expedia operates a branded loyalty program (Expedia Rewards) and frequently offers member-only discounts, mobile app deals and occasional promo codes.
Customer experience is mixed: the website and app are feature-rich with robust search filters, flexible date tools and map-based hotel sorting, yet resolving complex itinerary changes or refunds can require patience because policies and routes for support vary by supplier and ticket type. Expedia is a practical choice for travelers who want broad selection, easy package-building and loyalty perks, but travelers who need direct supplier relationships or hands-on support for specialist bookings (e.g., group travel, high-value cruises) should review terms closely before purchasing.
Wide selection

What you can book
Expedia covers most common travel needs: one-way and round-trip flights, traditional and vacation-rental hotels, car hire, cruises and day tours or activities. The site supports multi-city flight search and flexible-date tools, and you can bundle components into packages. Inventory often includes both branded-chain inventory and independent properties listed by third-party suppliers, so available cancellation and check-in policies can differ between options even on the same results page.
Booking, changes and customer service
When you book through Expedia you’ll see whether the reservation is managed by Expedia or by a supplier; that determines who you contact for changes and refunds. Simple modifications (date tweaks, seat selections) are usually handled through your Expedia itinerary, but complex changes, non-refundable fares, and third-party supplier refunds often require contacting the hotel, airline or tour operator. Phone and chat support are available, but resolution times vary depending on supplier cooperation.

Frequently asked questions
How do I change or cancel a booking I made on Expedia?
Check your Expedia itinerary to see whether the reservation is managed by Expedia or a supplier. If Expedia manages it, use your account itinerary or contact Expedia support to change or cancel. If a supplier manages it, you’ll often need to contact the hotel, airline or car company directly. Always review the cancellation policy shown at booking — non-refundable fares usually can’t be refunded.
What is Expedia Rewards and how do I earn points?
Expedia Rewards is the site’s loyalty program where members earn points on qualifying bookings. Points accrual rates vary by travel product and membership tier; you can redeem points for discounts on future bookings. Signing in to your Expedia account before booking ensures you receive member pricing and points.
Who do I contact for refunds or itinerary problems after booking?
Start with the contact information in your Expedia confirmation. If Expedia issued the ticket or voucher, contact Expedia customer service via the app or phone. If the booking is supplier-managed, contact the supplier (hotel, airline or tour operator) listed on the confirmation — Expedia may assist, but suppliers control refund decisions and processing times.
