Passengers wishing to fly Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) anywhere around the world can now book their flights online from the comfort of their bedroom on Expedia.com.

Expedia is an online portal which can be used to book flights, hotels and car rentals. Expedia does not have a Pakistani version of its website.

PIA spokesperson Danyal Gilani termed the development "a milestone".

Expedia is one of three major global players for flight bookings which competes aggressively with major players Priceline and Orbitz by constantly acquiring partner companies and launching promotional campaigns.
