Expedia

We believe travel enriches our lives and connects us to each other. Our Expedia Flights team is dedicated to building experiences that help travelers like you go places and makes our world more connected. We are a global team with representation in the United States, Mexico, Australia and India. Our Flights Shopping Platform is one of the largest in the world serving over 150 million queries a day and powering some of the strongest brands in the industry like Orbitz, Expedia, Travelocity, Wotif, Hotwire and ebookers. Expedia disrupted the airline industry with its flight shopping and booking technology 20 years ago. We always want to “be the place travelers choose to explore and book flights for a trip” and are looking for talent to join us and build technology and experiences that power these.

The Air product is one of the first touch points we have with travelers in our efforts to help them with their trip across all Expedia Groups Platforms (including Expedia, Cheaptickets, Orbitz, Wotif, eBookers, Travelocity, Expedia Partner Solutions, etc.). Building the right shopping experience is foundational to driving a meaningful customer acquisition and engagement platform and is also a core driver of growth for the other businesses within the Expedia portfolio. Expedia's Air business is directly responsible for nearly 40% of visitors to our leisure sites. The Air retail product & tech team sets and executes upon the overall vision and strategy for Air business acceleration across retail, marketing, supply and customer service.
