Expedia Tech Now Analyzes More Than 2 Million Flights a Day, Sourcing New Deals for Travelers in Real-Time  

Expedia® today announced a new money-saving tool for deal-seekers: Flight Deals. This new feature available exclusively on the app is a customizable deals feed that surfaces fares that are at least 20% cheaper than the typical estimated price. 

Expedia Flight Deals is different because it is constantly analyzing millions of flights to find deals that meet a minimum value and quality bar. Deals are identified using historical data and other price context factors and then run through a quality check that filters out fares that have more than one stop or super-long layovers.  

Located in the app under the “Search” tab, Flight Deals offers an open-ended way to search for flights. Just select a home airport and instantly browse flight deals to places worldwide, with estimated price differences for the fares highlighted in the feed. Travelers can filter the deals they see by destination and travel date, and they can further personalize their experience by creating custom deal alerts.¹

“What’s unique about Flight Deals is the transparency and insight we’re giving travelers into the flight prices they’re seeing,” said Josh Templin, vice president of product for Expedia Group. “We’re using proprietary machine learning technology to analyze millions of flights daily and dozens of price-influencing factors, and we’re sharing that information with travelers so they can make better-informed travel decisions. The result is a tool that makes it easier to get inspired, plan a trip and feel good about the deal you booked.” 

Flight Deals features include: 

• Personalized feed – Browse flight deals to anywhere, or filter by destination and travel date.    

• Great deals only – In order to qualify as a flight deal, a fare must be at least 20% lower than the typical predicted price. The predicted savings are displayed in the feed and based on an analysis of 30+ factors including historical data, booking windows and seasonality. 

• No gatekeeping – Flight Deals is 100% free for all One Key members; there’s no fee to see international flights or create custom alerts like on other sites.   

• Quality Flights– Flight Deals doesn’t surface routes with more than one stop or super-long layovers.   

• Always updating – Flight Deals uses Machine Learning to analyze more than 2 million flights a day, sourcing new deals continuously and only surfacing deals that are less than 24 hours old. 

• Custom deal alerts – Airfare prices are dynamic and change daily, but with Flight Deals travelers can set up customized notifications and be alerted when a new deal pops up for a preferred destination and date range.  

• Book in the app – Go from browsing flight deals to booking a flight deal in seconds, and manage the entire trip using self-service tools in the app.
