For travel buffs who have an Expedia account, they can check a new feature called the Scratchpad. This innovative feature stores all the recent search queries for easy access. Expedia.com found that customers will search for a flight online an average of 48 times before booking a trip. Scratchpad ensures that whenever they return, they have access to previous searches. Clicking on the Scratchpad button on the Expedia.com homepage expands the search history and refreshes the data, showing the latest prices and inventory. Saving a huge amount of time and availing customized search options, Scratchpad offers smart solutions to the global travelers.

 

 

Itinerary Sharing allows users to share live itineraries with their peers and family. Easy access to your notifications and your movements not only helps them to know more about your travel plans but also inspires future travelers to engage in itineraries shared by friends, colleagues or family members.

 

 

The updated Expedia.com app is available for download at Google Play and Apple App Store. Needless to mention, Expedia.com has been a revolution in the travel technology segment and these three features will surely ensure smart traveling.
