If you book a flight and hotel through expedia or orbitz, how do you get your plane tickets. And?

I don't have a credit card so how much will they need for a cash deposit at the hotel. I only use debit.


I just bought my ticket form expedia. I used my debit card (I don't have credit card either) and there was no problem.

I got electronic ticket ,or rather confirmation e-mail that you have to print out and take to the airport.

I have also booked via Expedia with a debit card and had no problems with them accepting my card, though I do normally book with a credit card.

If you are having problems then I would suggest using a pre-paid credit card. These are obtainable from most post-offices etc.

Plane tickets are in the form of E-tickets.

Hotels will also accept any major credit or debit cards. Just be aware that they will put a "hold" on some of the funds in your bank account.

For example: If the hotel room costs you $200 for the entire stay, they will take that $200 and they will also "hold" (for sake of argument) a further $125 from your account, to cover any damages etc but you will get this $125 back once you check out.

It is the same procedure with car rentals too.

Online travel purchases need to be made on a credit card, not a debit card.

Also, the tickets are called e-tickets (electronic tickets). You print them out at the kiosk at the airport.

You'll need a credit card to book through Expedia or Orbitz.
