Talk to the interviewer about your work habits and how you prefer to approach a new project. If you know how Expedia prefers to approach its work, you should discuss that method. For instance, if the interviewer tells you that they prefer extensive research before beginning a project, that is your queue to talk about your excellent research skills.

Research helps improve the success rate of any project. Research allows us to develop a plan, timeline and troubleshoot some potential hurdles before even starting something new.

I think there should be some prototype, and POC should be done before jumping into the implementation.
