The potential deal would take Uber closer to "super app" status, according to one analyst.
CEO Dara Khosrowshahi has said he wants to make Uber a one-stop app for transportation and delivery.

Meantime, Uber might not need to buy Expedia in order to offer Expedia bookings, according to Gordon Haskett's Mollins.
