Amy Cisneroz: Exactly, on the departure and on the arrival, on both. Nisreene Atassi: We talked a lot about bundling, are you a big proponent of that as well?
Have you seen some decent savings yourself? Amy Cisneroz: I have. I have booked some great packages for Saint Martin before the hurricanes. So hoteliers are definitely incentivized, as well as flights, to give better deals when you bundle. Nisreene Atassi: Last summer, my cousin was getting married and I very classically waited until the last minute to book it, even though I knew a year beforehand that she was getting married in Spain.
About maybe six weeks out, I go in to book for me and my husband. I just knew that the prices were going to be really tough. So, I started searching and we had some flexibility because we wanted to have a little bit of free time before or after the wedding. I was checking all these different options and then I actually decided to add a hotel for one night.
I was shocked, which is really funny because I work at Expedia and I know that bundling helps you save. Ever since then, I feel like whenever I go to search for our flight I always look at packages. We might just go chill out at a beach. Nisreene Atassi: I recently saw some research about the importance of mothers and daughters traveling together and how it creates an extra moment of connection and bonding.
So, very on-trend for you to do. Thank you so much for coming on the show today, it was a pleasure to have you. Thanks for listening to Out Travel the System.

Expedia makes its money in a few different ways. The largest of those ways is through hotel bookings, which the company is mainly known for allowing users to do. An example would be Expedia pushing for a 7-night all-inclusive trip to a remote island in the Caribbean. Expedia reaches out to a hotel on the island and buys up a block of, say, rooms at a discounted price because everything is cheaper in bulk.
Expedia than buys a large number of plane tickets going to that island, usually at little to no discount. People get a good deal and Expedia is able to fill more plane seats and hotel rooms. And Expedia has only paid a part of what they charge the people for the service, meaning they profit from every transaction.
Another way that Expedia makes money is through commission fees. Because Expedia always offers the lowest price or at least a lower price than the hotel will offer , people will be far more willing to actually take a trip in the first place. So hoteliers are far more inclined to sell rooms to Expedia because some money is better than no money. Expedia makes a little on the side through fees. These fees include:. Our resume builder tool will walk you through the process of creating a stand-out Architect resume.
Does Expedia have full-time employees whose sole responsibility is to troll the internet to find hotels that they can buy rooms from, and then contact those hotels and reach an agreement for those rooms? Definitely not.
Expedia has a third party sourcing organization that does all that for them. The ability to earn points or miles or rewards is important, regardless of how frequently or infrequently you travel.
Use as many or as few as you want : In addition to hotels, members can now redeem points to save money on rental cars and Things to Do tours, attractions and activities. For added flexibility, you can redeem as many or as few available points as you want to shave a couple dollars off or to cover the full booking.
Expedia offers regularly-updated hotel and package coupons. Bookmark that page and check back regularly. Typically, when someone wants to know how to save money on travel, they should also be aware that there might be special deals just for them.
For example, we have special student travel discounts. The takeaway? Definitely do your research and consider all options. Now that you have the best tips to save money on travel, visit Expedia. Follow Us. Alexis Tiacoh — July 2, Tags: Large Group.
