Expedia is an online travel-booking system. It books airline tickets, hotel reservations, car rentals, cruises, vacation packages and various attractions and services via the World Wide Web and telephone travel agents.

This last is shared with other Expedia, Inc. sites.

The main Expedia site can be found here.
