"The equation is simple. If you book a flight, hotel and car simultaneously, you're likely to save money versus booking them independently. And you don't need to book all three at once, any pairing fits," said John Morrey, vice president and general manager, Expedia.com. "We cannot emphasize this enough. You might save $50. You might save $500. But whatever you would save will disappear if you don't take this step. Package bookings are both the easiest and most consistent way to make budget-conscious travel choices." 20th Anniversary Savings 2016 is Expedia's 20th anniversary.
