Expedia Travel Remembers Ten Years
The traditional gifts for a tenth anniversary are tin or aluminum. Not particularly exciting gifts. Expedia.com is forgoing the tin or aluminum for their tenth anniversary and giving what they call “incredible deals” on their top ten destinations. Get it – 10 year anniversary, top 10 destinations?
In addition to the incredible deals on the top ten, each week for ten weeks, the travel website will be featuring a limited-time offer on one special vacation spot. This week happens to be Mexico. From now until August 28th, you can save $100 instantly on a flight to Mexico and a hotel stay of six nights or more. After August 28th, presumably Expedia will choose another of their top ten destinations to discount even further.
So I thought I’d do a little comparison shopping to see how Expedia’s 10th anniversary incredible deal to Mexico stood up against one of its competitors – Travelocity. I picked a random Mexican destination – Cozumel; a random hotel in Cozumel – The Reef Club; and a random city to fly to and from – Philadelphia. I shopped for flight and hotel from September 4 – September 11 and choose the same exact flights.
The winner? Expedia did come in lower. At $2.068.73 (after $100 instant savings) their anniversary price was $120.27 less than Travelocity’s price. Both prices included discounts for booking air and hotel together and both included all taxes and fees.
So it seems Expedia’s anniversary deals are worth looking into. Here are the destinations that Expedia is offering discounts to during their anniversary.
Mexico – Choose from Acapulco, Cancun, Costa Rica, Cozumel, Los Cabos, Mazatlan, Mexico City, Puerto Vallarta, and Riviera Maya. And don’t forget – if you book your Mexican trip by August 28th and use coupon code MEX100 when you check out you can save an extra $100.
Las Vegas – Here are just a few of the hotels Expedia is offering their deal at – Sahara, Excalibur, Bally’s, Treasure Island, MGM Grand, Mirage and Mandalay.
Orlando – You can take the family to Walt Disney World, Epcot, Sea World, Universal, and Disney’s Blizzard Beach when you stay at local hotels such as Ramada, Lake Buena Vista, Royal Plaza, Hyatt Grand Cypress and The Florida Hotel. Stay three nights, get one free.
Los Angeles – There are 18 hotels to choose from with Expedia’s Los Angeles packages including Comfort Inn, Wyndham, Marriot Marina Del Ray, and The Tower Beverly Hills.
Caribbean – Choose from Antigua, Aruba, Bahamas, Barbados, Cayman, Domincan Republic, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, and USVI.
Hawaii – Choose from the islands Oahu, Maui, Kauai, and Big Island.
New York City – Take in a Broadway show while you stay in hotels such as The Pickwick Arms, Woogo Central Park, Salisbury or The Mansfield.
San Francisco – While in the city by the bay you can stay at one of fourteen hotels including The Bay Bridge Inn, Monarch Hotel, Miyako, Bay Landing, or Sir Francis Drake.
Washington D.C. – Fifteen hotels are available in the nation’s capital including Geroge Washington Inn, Washington Court, Lansdowne, and the infamous Watergate Hotel.
Europe – Some of Europe’s most popular destinations are included in Expedia’s tenth anniversary deal including London, Rome, Paris, Amsterdam, Munich, Barcelona, and Dublin.
In addition to their anniversary deals, Expedia is also giving away a $50,000 vacation and other weekly and daily prizes for those who choose to enter their contest
