Expedia Flying High ( DozenTravel )

Online, March 22, 2010 (Newswire.com) - The mighty Expedia.com has held onto its crown at online travel guide DozenTravel.com this month and has been ranked as the top flight booking site. With a whopping total ranking of 8.5 out of ten, Expedia scored high in the areas of destinations, value for money and advanced searches.

But Expedia faces stiff competition from other sites in the same category. Both Kayak.com and Delta.com are chasing its tail. In the latest round of rankings, Kayak received 8.2, while Delta.com scored 8.4.

So how are these sites rated? Well, each month the editors from DozenTravel.com scour the online travel world searching for the best and worst sites. Finding the right online travel site can be like looking for a needle in a haystack, so DozenTravel.com do the hard work for users by filtering the choice to 12 sites - 6 tops, 6 flops. The editors grade the sites by using the unique Algorithmic Ranking System, which measures parameters such as online check-in, baggage allowance, value for money and email support.

Expedia.com really does go above and beyond simply helping you book your flights and accommodations. They offer a complete section dedicated to activities where customers can search by city to find out what you can do while vacationing. This is also a great feature for business travel for people who have a free afternoon or a layover! They also offer a business travel section dedicated to those travelling on a tight timetable as well as a section with maps and driving directions for a truly all-inclusive service.

"Expedia is a giant in the online travel world and has been at the top of the flight booking category for months on online travel index DozenTravel.com. But online travel is always changing and other sites such as Kayak.com are really going to give Expedia.com a run for their money throughout 2010. It will be interesting to see which site comes out on top.

"DozenTravel.com is the only site dedicated to monitoring the purely online travel industry, offering monthly check-ups of the sites we all use to book flights, hotels, hire cars and more. DozenTravel.com also grades blogs, travel guides and social networks for travelers. So it really is the one place where you can compare and preview travel sites, saving you hours of time."
