Spring is on the horizon, but if February’s drizzle has you dreaming of a getaway, we’ve got your savings covered. The Independent’s deal hunters have been busy finding the latest Expedia discounts, so you can focus on the destination.
Whether you’re looking to experience the hustle and bustle of New York, want to release your inner The White Lotus season three character with a trip to Thailand or you’re simply looking to book a cheap hotel in Tenerife, the world really is your oyster.
While adventures further afield are an exciting prospect, they naturally come with a rather hefty price tag. The popular travel site recently revealed the cheapest time to book flights was on a Sunday - a great place to start. But we’ve also listed the best Expedia deals to help cut down your travel costs even further. Case in point, members can save 25 per cent when bundling flight and hotel bookings together.
If your next weekend getaway can’t come soon enough, we’d recommend taking a look at Expedia’s last-minute deals page. This lesser-known section of the travel site will see you save at least 20 per cent on spontaneous trips to hundreds of popular destinations, including Barcelona, Paris, Lisbon, Dubai and Istanbul.
Joining Expedia's OneKeyCash free travel rewards programme is a must for frequent travellers. You can earn and redeem points on eligible hotels, holiday rentals, car rentals, activities and flights. The more you book, the better your perks. You'll unlock additional benefits as you progress through membership tiers, which include blue, silver, gold and platinum.

Expedia members can currently save 25 per cent when adding a hotel after booking a flight. This could mean a luxury stay at the AlmaLusa Baixa and Chiado Hotel in Lisbon or a city break in Paris, staying at Hotel Bassano, both at a fraction of the regular price.
If time is of the essence and you prefer a hassle-free booking experience that includes your flight, hotel and car rental, Expedia’s package holidays are the way to go. This option is not only convenient and ATOL-protected, but you can also save up to 10 per cent compared to booking separately.

If you're considering a sun-soaked escape, Santorini should be next on your list. Expedia offers package deals that include stays at the luxurious five-star Secret Suites and Spa. With breathtaking views, infinity pools and luxury suites, it’s the perfect spot to unwind. Plus, bundling in a car rental is a great way to explore the island at your own pace – drive to hidden beaches, old towns and iconic sunset spots in Oia. All of this, plus a 10 per cent discount? Sounds like the dream getaway.
Another smart way to save is by downloading the Expedia app, which will see you unlock even more travel savings. With up to 20 per cent off hotels, along with price tracking for flights, you’ll always know the best time to book.
When is the best time to book a holiday with Expedia for optimum savings?
Expedia recently revealed the best time to book a holiday, recommending that Sunday is the cheapest time to book flights, while Friday is the cheapest day to travel on. The travel site also warned against booking too far in advance and instead noted that booking international tickets around 13 to 21 days before your trip is usually the magic window for savings.
Why choose Expedia?
“For an easy all-in holiday, it’s hard to beat Expedia. With flights, hotels, and – usually complicated – car rentals all bundled in one it’s a convenient choice for last-minute holidaymakers. Better still, the travel search engine shows the best return flight offers from a combination of airlines, has broad filters for multi-city browsing and flexible cancellation policies,” says junior travel writer Natalie Wilson.
