Expedia has partnered with Wingz, a scheduled airport transfer service, to let travelers book their airport rides at the same time they reserve flights and hotels. This integration gives customers the advantage of knowing their driver and the exact fare in advance. Passengers can also request specific drivers, and Wingz states that all drivers undergo thorough vetting and background checks to ensure safety and reliability.
The service is currently offered in several U.S. cities, including Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles, Phoenix, San Francisco, Sacramento, San Diego and Seattle. By providing a prebooked transfer option, the partnership aims to reduce uncertainty around transportation to and from the airport.
“The airport transportation market has been highly fragmented and saddles travelers with unpredictable costs and unreliable service. With Wingz, Expedia customers now have a consistent, reliable and personal transportation option, taking the stress out of getting to and from the airport,” said Chris Brandon, CEO of Wingz.
This collaboration streamlines trip planning by consolidating travel bookings in one place. Travelers benefit from transparent pricing, confirmed drivers, and the ability to arrange pickups and drop-offs as part of their overall itinerary. For those who prefer planning every detail ahead of time, the added convenience of a scheduled transfer can make travel days smoother and less stressful.
Wingz’s model emphasizes predictability and personalization: set pickup times, fixed fares, and the option to choose a familiar driver for repeat trips. For business travelers and families alike, knowing exactly how transportation will be handled reduces delays and eliminates the need to find a ride upon arrival.
Expedia’s integration with Wingz also supports better trip coordination. When transfers are booked alongside flights and hotels, travelers can sync pickup times with flight arrival and departure windows, minimizing wait times and missed connections. This unified booking experience is designed to be particularly useful in busy airports and congested cities where ground transportation can be a source of stress.
By launching in major metropolitan areas first, the service targets markets with high demand for reliable airport transfers. As adoption grows, passengers may see expanded coverage and additional features that further enhance the door-to-door travel experience.
Overall, the Expedia–Wingz partnership focuses on making airport transfers more predictable, safe and convenient by combining prebooking, vetted drivers and transparent pricing within the broader travel booking process.
