The site offers a wide variety of flights, hotels, package holidays , car hire etc but where they specialize is in the ability to allow you to create your own holiday by combining these elements so you are effectively tailor making your own trip. With deals galor and a great weekly newsletter Expedia is definately one to watch. So what, I hear you ask, makes Expedia numero uno and worthy of the top position in the list. Well, In addition to the above Expedia also offer a wide variety of user friendly facilities on the site like the ability to filter results of hotels by ammenities like "air conditioning" or "pool".
