Destination-Specific Booking Tips

AsiaAsia’s diverse destinations–Tokyo’s neon-lit streets, Bangkok’s temples, or Bali’s beaches–require strategic planning. Expedia has a wide range of flights and hotels that are tailored to Asia.

• Flights Major carriers such as Japan Airlines, Singapore Airlines and AirAsia provide competitive fares. Expedia’s filters can help you find non-stop flights from hubs such as Singapore, or connecting flights that are more affordable for budget travelers. As an example, a round-trip flight from Delhi to Bangkok starts at Rs20,000.
• Hotels Choose between luxury hotels like Marina Bay Sands, Singapore, or budget hostels such as Hanoi. Expedia’s “Beachfront”, “Family Friendly” and “Facilities” filters are perfect for destinations such as Phuket or Bali.
• Tips:
  • Bookings for peak season (e.g. cherry blossom in Japan in March-April) should be made at least 2-3 months in advance.
  • In Southeast Asia, monsoons can cause major disruptions. Look for hotels that offer free cancellation.
  • Save more by bundling activities together (e.g. guided tours in Kyoto).

Example A 7-night package flight and hotel to Bali, from Mumbai, with a 4-star resort, AirAsia flights included, costs Rs 60,000 on Expedia. This is a 20% saving compared to bookings separately.EuropeTo manage the high cost of Europe’s cultural centers, such as Paris, Rome and London, you need to plan in a way that is visa compliant (e.g. Schengen Visas).

One Key offers a $200 discount.AmericasThe Americas include luxury resorts like those in the US and Costa Rica as well as cultural cities such as Buenos Aires. Expedia offers a wide range of hotel and airline options in Latin America, including Delta Airlines, American Airlines, and US airlines.
