When booking flights/holidays through sites like Expedia, what does the email say?

Accepted answer

Sorry its a bit of a wall of text but here is a redacted version of one of my Expedia booking emails, the version you get on email is nicely formatted this is just a plain text dump of that.

This was for a combined flight and hotel, everything I need to check in for the flight and hotel is provided below, including going on to the airlines website to enter things like frequent flyer, seat reservations etc. About the only thing it doesn't have which would be useful is which terminal the flights go from.

The booking process is pretty easy, just say where and when you want fly to, if they give you a list of hotels, pick the one you want, then pick a room option. Once you have picked a room, you then can pick from a list of flights, choosing time, number of stops, each choice is priced accordingly.

When you book packaged deals, like flights + hotels, Expedia first gives you hotel options, with prices. Once you've selected that, it switches to flights, and tells you how much more is required for the flights. Then you have a summary, with dates, hotel, flights etc, and the total.

Once you've paid you receive a confirmation email with the flights and the hotel in two separate section.

Note that if you start with booking flights, Expedia gives you an option to add a hotel, too. And/or a car.
