What are world's largest online travel companies?
Hey all. I am close to getting my PhD, so as a personal reward, I am thinking about traveling the world for a few weeks. I could definitely use the break, and I generally prefer investing in experiences rather than things. I want to do this via OTAs, as I like the freedom and variety online agencies offer. Plus, I've heard great things about some of them, so I definitely think the advantages are worth it. With that in mind, which online travel companies would you recommend? Which ones are the largest?Asked a month ago

What are most reliable online travel brands?
My sister and I are planning a short trip to Europe, and we're thinking about using an online travel agency for that - we heard it's actually more affordable, and those we've checked out so far seem to have a lot more options than our local travel agencies. However, as with most online things, I'm a bit worried about getting scammed, so I want to ask: what are the most trustworthy online travel brands? How do I check whether the travel company I like is actually safe?Asked a month ago

Do online travel agencies have rewards programs?
Traveling has always been my passion, and I've dreamed of having a job that would allow me to have the lifestyle of a digital nomad. This year, that seems to be coming true, and I'm very excited to start exploring the world. In the past, I mainly used local traveling agencies, but a friend suggested I try online ones. I like the ability to compare different options and find more affordable deals, so I definitely like what I see online. What I can't see, though, is any loyalty program or something similar. Do online agencies have that? If they do, which ones have the best rewards system?Asked a month ago

How to get a discount when booking via OTAs?
I am planning a short trip soon, and I am using one OTA that my work colleague recommended. However, I forgot to ask her if I could get any discount or some kind of deal, and I couldn't find anything on the agency's website. So, I thought I'd ask here. Do OTAs generally offer discounts for bookings, like codes or coupons? Even if I can't get one now, cause it's my first booking via this particular agency, how would I get one in the future? Thanks for replying.Asked a month ago

How do you change or cancel a reservation made through Expedia?
Last weekend, I made a reservation through Expedia, and my trip was supposed to start in 2 weeks. I was really looking forward to it, but unfortunately, something came up. Now, I don't think I can make the trip, so I need to either change or cancel this reservation. I would prefer to postpone it to the next month, but if that's not possible, I would need to cancel it altogether. I don't know how to do either, though - could somebody help me? But also, is this going to cost me anything?Asked a month ago

Can you book a rental car through Expedia?
Hello. My husband and I had a short road trip planned for the next weekend, but our car broke down recently and is now at the repairman's. We probably won't have it back in time. He wanted to postpone the trip, but I would rather rent a car and enjoy the weekend as planned. Can we do that through Expedia? How does it work? Thanks for any replies.Asked a month ago

Does Expedia offer any discounts for booking a flight and hotel together?
Hello all. I am planning a vacation to Paris soon, and I found the perfect hotel on Expedia. The trip is in about a month in total, and I'm very excited about it. I haven't made any final decisions yet, as I'm hoping to find some good deals first. After all, saving on transport and/or accommodation would allow me to have more money for shopping in Paris, and I'm definitely looking to update my wardrobe. This is also why I was wondering: can I get a discount for booking a flight through Expedia as well? Is there something like a bundle deal?Asked a month ago

Does Expedia offer travel insurance?
Good day to you all, I recently heard about Expedia, and I am interested in booking a family vacation through them. But before I do so, I'd like to know more about them. Do they offer any kind of travel insurance? If they do, what does it cover? Can I add the insurance to my plan after booking, or do I have to choose it first? But also, in case I decide against it, what would happen if our flight got canceled without travel protection? Sorry if that's a bit too many questions, but thank you for answering.Asked a month ago

How does Booking.com handle cancellations or changes to your reservation?
My husband and I are planning a short trip next summer. However, since it would be during the holiday season, I would like to book our accommodation a few weeks ahead. It helps to have one less thing to think about, and it would allow us to focus on packing and preparing. Anyway, I'd like to know what happens in case something comes up and we can't make it. Can we change our reservation on Booking.com, and how far in advance must this be? Would they charge us a cancellation fee in case there are no available dates that suit us?Asked a month ago
