How much does a Merdeka travel package cost?
From just £1,333. Yes, you read that right. Our Merdeka travel packages are the best way to make your budget stretch further. Combine your flights, hotels and rental car and get out and explore this destination your way.

How do I get a cheap travel package to Merdeka?
You'll save piles of cash if you bundle your hotels, flights and car rentals into a Merdeka holiday package. Sometimes cheap means fewer choices. But not with Expedia. We offer more than 550 air carriers and 1,000,000 hotels across the world, so you'll always have plenty of options to choose from. Like to save even more?

Does Expedia offer Book Now, Pay Later Merdeka holidays?
Your bank balance shouldn't stop you from going on holiday, so Expedia has come up with a solution to help. Now that we've joined forces with online lender Klarna, it's easier than ever to book a terrific getaway without draining your savings. Klarna offers flexible payment options at checkout that take the worry out of budgeting for your escape. Check out these flexible payment options:

  • Pay monthly holidays: If paying bite-sized amounts each month sounds right for you, Klarna can help. Paying in easy monthly instalments will make your getaway dreams come true.

Where should I stay in Merdeka?
With lots to discover in Merdeka, we suggest you secure a room in a hotel close to its attractions. Batu Pahat Mall, Wet World and Batu Pahat Golf Club are some fascinating ones to put on your itinerary.
What are the top hotels in Merdeka?
Book a room at The Katerina Hotel. It's one of the area's most in-demand properties. Another great option in Merdeka is Crystal Inn.
How far in advance should I book my Merdeka holiday?
While prices do change, we generally advise booking your flight as early as possible. Most international fares can be found on Expedia up to 12 months in advance. If circumstances have left you booking late, you may still get lucky. Discount prices to Merdeka sometimes appear only weeks before departure.
What does an Expedia Merdeka travel package include?
It all boils down to what kind of getaway you have in mind. Merdeka travel deals can include flights, car rentals and hotels. You can mix and match to find the package that works for you! You can also add on activities and experiences after you've booked to pick up even bigger discounts.
What should I know before booking a Merdeka travel package?
Locking in all the parts of your escape together is an excellent way to save. Combine car rentals, airfares and hotels into a convenient little package. But you're not limited to hotels. Expedia offers all kinds of properties, including holiday rentals such as beach villas and city apartments. You've got loads of choices!
Can I choose my airline with a Merdeka Expedia travel package?
Yes — and it's easy too. Expedia has access to more than 550 partner airlines globally. Our travel packages give you the freedom to pick from available flights, hotels and activities that suit you.
