The same thing is happening on Expedia.com.

Basically the site receives on Firefox OS is a responsive Web site which is slightly different from the site at 
http://www.expedia.com.sg/MobileHotel or http://www.expedia.com/MobileHotel

To note that MobileHotel is working well with Gecko.

Two options:
* Live with it and we resolve this as a duplicate of Bug 1019189
* Make this bug a more generic bug for expedia properties on receiving MobileHotel.

Opinions? Hallvord, Abdul.

I think the version Firefox on Android gets is more adapted to mobile. If you try to step through a booking (I tried flights) in Firefox OS you will eventually end up on pages that don't fit the screen - like the flights summary. I also tested briefly the Firefox on Android version on a Firefox OS Flame phone and it seemed to work just fine, including performance.

(That said, I don't think this is a .sg-specific issue, we should probably have one global bug for Expedia-sites)

Hallvord, agreed about expedia. and it's easy to refactor this one.

Now responsive :)

(Hm..now I was testing pretty superficially, I see from comments the site was responsive on the main page and some others already a while ago. But Fx OS issues are no longer considered important.. I also assume that Expedia will have been rolling out more and more of their responsive redesign over time.)
