In all, I found hotwire.com a relatively easy-to-use intuitive system to simply get a deal, however there are some big issues that I noticed if you want to make the most out of it. The biggest is that when you choose a package you lose a lot of the benefits of using hotwire.com in the first place, the ability to get the cheapest tickets because you do not know what you are getting when you book them. Also, you are only given a choice of hotel and it somehow chooses a hotel and car rental for you, granted you can change this through different links but its not obvious you can do this and its hard to tell exactly which part of the trip is the most/least expensive. Also, in order to make your dates flexible you have to click on an obscure link "planning tools" and then on the flexible planning, but that is only flights and there is no way to incorporate hotels or car rentals in that search. Lastly, the amenity icons are slightly confusing and obscure and so you need to hover over them in order to understand what they are about.
