We've all come across an Instagram Reel of some dreamy island paradise or bustling city plaza and saved it with the hopes of planning a trip to that very spot one day. But do we ever actually take the time to make it happen? With Expedia's new Trip Matching tool, you can turn that inspirational Reel into an actual booking in no time.
That's right, the next time you come across a Reel of a Thai beach, Tokyo alleyway or Italian villa, you can share it with @Expedia on Instagram and through the power of AI you'll get a custom itinerary tailored to the video you sent. You'll get hotel options, restaurant recommendations and travel tips all based on that one clip that you can't stop watching. Even better? You can book everything right away through Expedia.
That's right—Expedia's Trip Matching tool is basically an instant vacation. No more researching, reading reviews or toggling between apps. Expedia is the first online travel platform to fuse real-time AI with Instagram like this—and it makes total sense. After all, inspiration hits in your feed, and you don't want to let the inspiration pass.
Want to give it a try? The tool is in beta at Expedia.com/tripmatching and will roll out to U.S. users in the coming weeks. This is travel planning built for scrolling, so get ready to turn “that looks amazing” into “I’m going there next month.”
