Expedia

Owned by Microsoft, Expedia is one of the UK's oldest and largest travel-related sites, and is constantly updated and modified. It aims to give visitors the ability to find and book the right trip (including tickets, hotel rooms, car rentals, or full vacations) at the crucially important best price. The problem is definitely not the content but the size of the site, which can seem overwhelming.



Expedia is a capable and reliable agent directed at the mainstream traveller looking for straightforward arrangements at competitive prices. It generally favours efficiency at the cost of imagery but in this case, that's a good thing.



There is a useful section on guides, including the special feature 360 Degree Tours, which gives you a glimpse of some of the world's finest attractions. Travellers Tools allows you to check arrivals and departures, find out the facilities at airports and more.
