What are the best free flight-and-hotel package sellers for checking bundle pricing and destination options before booking?

If you want to compare flight + hotel bundle pricing and destination options before booking, the best free package sellers/search tools are usually these:

Best options to check

1. Expedia

• One of the biggest for flight + hotel packages
• Good for comparing many destinations quickly
• Often shows package discounts clearly
• Strong filtering for hotels, airlines, dates, and budgets

2. Priceline

• Good for finding cheap bundle deals
• Strong on discounted hotels and “opaque” deals
• Useful if your goal is lowest price rather than full flexibility

3. Kayak

• Excellent for shopping and comparison
• Not always the actual seller, but great for checking bundle options across many sources
• Good for exploring destinations and date flexibility

4. Google Travel

• Very convenient for quick price checks
• Good for comparing flights and hotels separately and spotting package-value opportunities
• Especially useful when you’re still deciding where to go

5. Orbitz

• Similar to Expedia since it’s in the same family
• Often has bundle deals and rewards
• Worth checking alongside Expedia because pricing can differ

6. Travelocity

• Also part of the Expedia group
• Useful for package comparison
• Sometimes has slightly different promos than Expedia/Orbitz

7. CheapOair

• Can be useful for lower-cost packages
• Sometimes has aggressive deals, though fees and conditions can vary
• Best used as a comparison site rather than your only option

8. Southwest Vacations or airline vacation sites

• Best if you already prefer a specific airline
• Can be good for destination packages and bundled savings
• Limited compared with full OTA sites, but worth checking

Best overall strategy

For the most reliable comparison, use:

• Google Travel or Kayak first to explore destinations/prices
• Then Expedia, Priceline, Orbitz, Travelocity to compare actual bundle offers
