CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS FOR DIRECTORS AND SENIOR FINANCIAL OFFICERS

This Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for Directors and Senior Financial Officers ("Code of Ethics") reflects the commitment of Expedia Group ("Expedia") to conduct its business affairs in accordance with not only the requirements of law but also standards of ethical conduct that will maintain and foster Expedia's reputation for honest and straightforward business dealings. Expedia's principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions (together, "Senior Financial Officers") and members of Expedia's Board of Directors (collectively referred to in this Code of Ethics as "Covered Persons") are expected to read and understand this Code of Ethics, uphold these standards in their corporate activities and take personal responsibility for compliance with all applicable policies and procedures.

Covered Persons are strongly encouraged to consult with Expedia's VP of Corporate Audit Services or Chief Legal Officer if they have any questions concerning the requirements or interpretation of this Code of Ethics.

Covered Persons who violate the standards in this Code of Ethics may be subject to disciplinary action as described in the "Enforcement - Sanctions for Violations" section below. If a Covered Person is in or aware of a situation that the Covered Person believes may violate or lead to a violation of this Code of Ethics, he or she should follow the guidelines described in the "Enforcement" section below.

1.Honest, Lawful and Ethical Conduct

The conduct of Covered Persons in performing their duties on behalf of Expedia must in all situations, as to all matters and at all times, be honest, lawful and in accordance with high ethical and professional standards. In addition, the conduct of Covered Persons must at all times be respectful of the rights of others and, in keeping with their duty of loyalty to Expedia, must at all times be in the best interests of Expedia.

The requirement of honest, lawful and ethical conduct is broad and therefore must be stated in general terms. As such, this Code of Ethics does not cover every issue that may arise, but instead sets out basic principles to guide Covered Persons of Expedia.

2.Commitment to Respect Human and Workplace Rights

Expedia respects human and workplace rights and is committed to conducting its business in a manner that protects human rights and the rights of our employees and others. Expedia

Expedia Group, Inc. Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for Directors and Senior Financial Officers: Approved by Expedia Group, Inc. Board of Directors, March 12, 2020

endeavors to conduct business operations in a manner that is free from complicity in human rights abuses and adheres to responsible and ethical workplace practices. Recognizing that there are differences in laws, customs and economic conditions that affect business practices around the world, Expedia believes that its commitment to human and workplace rights includes, among other things, prohibiting forced labor of any kind; adhering to minimum age provisions of applicable laws and regulations; ensuring wages and working hours are in accordance with local laws and regulations and industry practice; maintaining safe and healthy workplaces, free of unlawful harassment, intimidation and discrimination; opposing human trafficking; and respecting the right of employees to freely associate and to legally organize and join associations such as labor unions.

3.Conflicts of Interest

Covered Persons owe a duty to Expedia to advance its legitimate interests when the opportunity to do so arises. A "conflict of interest" exists when a person's interests improperly interfere with the interests of Expedia. A conflict situation can arise when a Covered Person takes actions or has interests that may be adverse to or may make it difficult to perform his or her work for Expedia objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest may also arise when a Covered Person, or any member of his or her family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position in Expedia. Covered Persons are responsible for recognizing and avoiding any situation involving a conflict of interest. Covered Persons should strive to avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest by avoiding associations or investment interests that interfere, might interfere or might appear to interfere with the independent exercise of judgment in Expedia's best interests. Each Covered Person is responsible for taking appropriate action to eliminate or prevent such conflict or appearance of a conflict, including reporting the situation consistent with the process described in the "Enforcement - Reporting Violations" section below.

Expedia respects the privacy of its Covered Persons and their right to engage in outside activities that do not conflict with the interests of, do not interfere with the performance of their duties on behalf of and do not reflect poorly on Expedia. Expedia nonetheless has the right and obligation to determine whether conflicts of interest exist and to take appropriate action to address them.

Before engaging directly or indirectly in any transaction or relationship (including the acceptance of an executive officer or director position with another entity or the making of a significant direct or indirect investment in another entity)that reasonably could give rise to an actual or apparent conflict of interest, Covered Persons must provide a full and fair disclosure of all relevant facts and circumstances to Expedia's Chief Legal Officer. After evaluating the reported transaction or relationship, Expedia will determine the appropriate protective measures, if any, which measures may include prohibiting such transaction or relationship.

In addition, if a Covered Person's spouse or other close family member works for a firm that does business with or competes against Expedia, the Legal Department should be advised of the situation in writing. Conflicts of interest may not always be clear -cut, so

All Covered Persons must comply with applicable laws, regulations, rules and regulatory orders applicable in the country, state and local jurisdictions where business is conducted, including anti-corruption laws, securities laws, antitrust laws and other fair competition laws. In addition, all Covered Persons must also comply with the policies of the Company applicable to them, including the Expedia Group Securities Trading Policy. Each Covered Person is expected to acquire appropriate knowledge of the requirements relating to his or her duties sufficient to enable him or her to recognize potential issues or violations and to know when to seek advice from the Legal Department on specific Expedia policies and procedures. If a law conflicts with a policy in this Code of Ethics, Covered Persons must comply with the law.

5.Insider Trading

Covered Persons who, as a result of their employment at Expedia or membership of Expedia's Board of Directors, are in possession of material, non-public information about any publicly traded corporation, including Expedia, may not engage in transactions in the securities of such corporations and may not share such information with anyone who might engage in such transactions. To do so is not only unethical but also illegal and could expose the Covered Person and Expedia to civil and criminal penalties.

All Covered Persons are required to read and familiarize themselves with the "Expedia Group Securities Trading Policy." Covered Persons that wish to receive an additional copy of the Securities Trading Policy or have further questions in this area, should consult the Chief Legal Officer.
