TIPS AND TRICKS FOR GETTING THE MOST OUT OF EXPEDIA TRAVEL WEEK

Expedia wants travelers to have all the tools they need to make travel plans they feel confident and excited about. Follow these tips to get the most out of Expedia Travel Week and your next trip:

• DOWNLOAD THE APP In addition to unlocking 5x the Rewards points during Expedia Travel Week, Expedia’s award-winning mobile app also makes it easier to plan and keep track of travel plans, with handy push notifications alerting travelers to itinerary changes, easy messaging with your hotel, and a map feature to find nearby things to do.
• BOOK FLEXIBLE RATES Most deals featured during Expedia Travel Week have flexible cancellation policies. While many destinations are open, choosing refundable rates allows travelers to snag a great deal or get a trip on the books without worrying about plans needing to change. Filter search results for "free cancellation" or "reserve now, pay later" and select a refundable room type.
• UNLOCK DEEPER SAVINGS BY BUNDLING Just by booking multiple items at the same time, such as adding a car rental, activity or hotel to a flight purchase, travelers can save up to hundreds of dollars on their trip.
• KEEP TABS ON THE LATEST TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS With restrictions changing by the day or week, it can be tricky to stay up to date on the latest COVID-related guidelines. Use the Expedia Travel Advisor which lets travelers type in their origin and destination to see what travel advisories or COVID-19 restrictions are in place.

*Offers vary by cruise line

**20%-off coupons are unique to each Daily Getaway, and are only valid for the hotels and activities featured on that specific Daily Getaway for a 24-hour period, while supplies last.
