The UK's no.1 online travel agent unveils even more great value holiday savings
London, 10 September 2009 - Expedia.co.uk has launched its September promotion with great deals on flight and hotel packages, for travel until the end of the year and beyond. Whether it is a city break in Rome, a beach trip to top up a fading summer tan or a low cost offer to Asia, these latest Expedia deals ensure value for money to a variety of popular destinations.
On sale until 31st October 2009, deals include domestic getaways from £49; European city escapes from £101; beach breaks from £114 and long haul holidays from £548.
Alongside the September promotion, collectors can earn three times the number of Nectar points (3,000 points) that would usually apply. When booking 'tailor-made' packages until 31st October such as flight and hotel; flight and car; or flight, hotel and car, Nectar customers will now benefit from even more great savings.
"It is important for everyone to feel that they are getting as much value out of their holidays as possible at present and, with this new Expedia promotion, we have some sizzling deals that are hard to resist," says Jonathan Cudworth, director of product management, Expedia.co.uk.
"But the great value deals are just the start. At Expedia, we want to create the best marketplace around for travellers to plan, book and manage their trips, which is why we have also chosen to remove all Expedia change and cancellation charges from hotel bookings. Customers can snap up the latest offerings with confidence and have the flexibility to change their hotel bookings at a later date, if their plans change."
In the event of a last minute change of plans, individual hotels may charge their own change or cancellation fees. Full details are available during the booking process on Expedia.co.uk.
