About Travelocity
Travelocity is one of the original online travel agencies, launched in 1996 as one of the first sites to enable consumers to book flights, hotels, and car rentals online without calling a travel agent. Now owned by Expedia Group (alongside Expedia.com, Hotels.com, and Orbitz), Travelocity operates as part of the Expedia portfolio of travel booking brands, sharing inventory and loyalty program infrastructure while maintaining a distinct consumer-facing brand.
Their travel booking covers flights, hotels, vacation packages (flight + hotel bundles), car rentals, cruises, and activities. As an Expedia Group property, Travelocity shares the One Key unified loyalty program with Expedia and Hotels.com, allowing travelers to earn rewards across all Expedia Group brands and redeem them through any of the platforms. The Best Price Guarantee (price difference refund if found lower elsewhere within 24 hours of booking) provides pricing confidence.
Travelocity, Expedia, and Orbitz share backend inventory as Expedia Group brands—meaning prices are often identical across these three platforms, though promotional pricing can differ. Comparing Travelocity against independent OTAs like Priceline and Booking.com, as well as direct airline and hotel websites, ensures the best available travel deal before booking.
Quick Savings Tips
- One Key rewards (shared with Expedia and Hotels.com) earn OneKeyCash on hotel bookings redeemable across brands
- Package deals (flight + hotel) typically save 10–20% vs. booking each component separately
- Compare identical itineraries across Travelocity, Expedia, and Orbitz—prices often differ despite shared inventory
- Direct airline and hotel booking preserves loyalty miles and flexible cancellation rights OTA bookings may not offer
- Best Price Guarantee: if you find a lower price within 24 hours of booking, Travelocity credits the difference
