Review summary

gomez.com

Expedia jumped this quarter into the number-one spot overall, also taking the number-one spot in the Business Traveler and Bargain Traveler Profiles, as well as number-one in the Ease of Use Category. This site has spent time and money climbing to the top and it shows. New features and functionality abound at Expedia.com this quarter. The implementation of services such as the hotel price matcher, flight price matcher and fare calendar gave the site the boost it needed. Best of all these cool new features produce positive easy to use results.

Key Benefits
Senior, children`s, and infant`s fares are easily
distinguisable. The flight price matcher allows
customers to request thier own fare price and if
Expedia.com finds a lower fare in the process it will
offer that before taking the customer`s original
request.

Key Shortfalls
Cruises and vacation packages are available through
third-party relationships and aren`t as easy to
access as they should be. Once a customer leaves
the site to research a vacation package it is difficult
to navigate back to Expedia`s home page.
Maps take on a life of their own here. Customers can
link to Expedia`s proprietary maps, but then the
original home page changes to the map home page; a
must change snafu.
