The new service allows holidaymakers to book flights and hotels together through the same channel and at a competitive price
Vueling Airlines, low cost carrier part of IAG group, and Expedia Partner Solutions (EPS), a B2B brand of Expedia Group, launch Vueling Holidays, a new offer that will provide affordable flight and hotel travel packages to the airline’s passengers for the first time.
In an exclusive agreement, Vueling Holidays, powered by Expedia’s white-labelled online template, gives travelers access to flight and hotel package deals, including Expedia Group’s global supply of more than 500,000 accommodations in over 25,000 destinations worldwide.
Vueling Holidays, through its collaboration with EPS, will look to expand their travel packages in the future, for example, to include activities and experiences.

By launching Vueling Holidays, collaborating with EPS, we’ve been able to make planning and booking a holiday more seamless and can now offer great package deals at competitive prices to help our customers get more for their money.”
