Expedia Turns Instagram Reels Into Bookable Travel Itineraries

Expedia Turns Instagram Reels Into Bookable Travel Itineraries

New trip matching tool uses AI to convert social media inspiration into real-world travel plans—all within Instagram

Expedia announced Expedia Trip Matching, a first-of-its-kind feature that allows travelers to seamlessly build an itinerary based on reels found on Instagram and then book directly on Expedia. Travelers can share any publicly available travel-related reel—whether from content creators they follow or trending posts—directly with Expedia and receive customized itineraries, destination ideas, and travel tips based on the video. Powered by AI, this new experience transforms inspiration into real-world travel plans, making it easier than ever to book travel directly from Instagram.

“It’s no secret people are getting their news, inspiration and travel ideas from influencers and content creators, with a recent study showing that 80% of millennials rely on social media for travel decisions*,” said Jochen Koedijk, Chief Marketing Officer, Expedia Group. “We want to be where consumers get their inspiration, which is through social media. Now with Expedia® Trip Matching, travelers can seamlessly build an itinerary based on reels found on Instagram and book it directly on Expedia.”

  • Receive fast results: Expedia replies with AI-generated, personalized travel recommendations, itineraries, and trip-planning resources based on the video.
  • Book when ready: Travelers can review and book directly from the customized itinerary—seamlessly bridging social discovery with real-world booking.
