Despite its name, Hotels.com does offer hotel and air packages and even stand-alone flights!
One of the best things about Hotels.com is their rewards program. When you stay 10 nights, you get 1 night free. The value of your free night is the average price of the 10 nights you stayed to earn it.

CheapTickets is a travel website offering discounted rates on hotels, air fares, cruises, car rental, vacation packages, last-minute trips, and events.

Agoda
Travel on, now:
Agoda doesn’t offer much as far as searching for flights, but if you’re looking for accommodations, it’s worth checking out. In addition to traditional hotels and resorts, Agoda lets you search for hostels and private houses.
Priceline
Travel on, now:
One of the areas where Priceline can offer a deep discount is through its Express Deals. These opaque bookings keep details of the hotel secret until the booking is complete. These are pre-paid, non-refundable, and non-transferable bookings. If your plans aren’t concrete, it’s best to avoid this type of booking.
Pet Travel
Travel on, now:
Pet Travel is an online resource providing information for pet owners on everything from airline policies to acquiring a pet passport. Their database of more than 35,000 animal-friendly hotels, parks, restaurants and stores worldwide is an invaluable resource for those planning a trip with their pet.
Orbitz
Travel on, now:
Orbitz is easy-to-use OTA, but something that makes it different is its strong in-house loyalty program. Every booking earns Orbucks, and 1 Orbuck is worth $1.
The Orbucks earning rate is much better for hotels than flights and Orbucks can only be redeemed for hotels. The only catch is generally, you can only earn Orbucks on prepaid hotel stays.
