Basis vs Expedia
Which is better?
Why Basis is different?
Expedia was one of the original pioneers in online travel. But over time, the platform has become cluttered with upsells, third-party vendors, and hidden fees—something that’s reflected in its growing number of negative reviews.
For premium travelers, that kind of experience simply isn’t good enough. If you’re spending $10,000 on a business class ticket, you deserve world-class support—not an outsourced call center or an endless phone tree. FlyBasis was built to give premium travelers the fares they deserve, and the service to match.

Why this chart matters?
Not all flight search engines are built the same. Basis focuses exclusively on premium fares—this means a different set of features designed for serious travelers, not budget hunters.
