When looking for hotels, we usually cross-reference Booking*, Expedia*, Priceline, and Agoda*. We typically book with Booking.com* because we like their “Genius” deals and it seems like they often have the best or comparable prices.

While Booking, Expedia, and Priceline do offer flight booking we usually use Google Flights or ITA Flight Matrix (also by Google) and then book the flight directly through the carrier.
