Can I cancel a flight I booked with Expedia?
Please note: this article is for flights booked with Expedia. If you booked a package holiday or a hotel only, visit the following articles:
Are you unable to use the flight you booked through Expedia and are wondering how to receive a refund? Unfortunately, whether you are allowed to cancel your booking depends on the third-party airline’s cancellation policies. These policies are available to you in your original booking itinerary or you can go to “Manage My Flight” where you can find a list of airlines and their individual rules and regulations. If you are able to cancel your flight, you are responsible for paying Expedia’s flight cancellation fee of £25 per passenger on top of any cancellation fees the third-party airline charges.
If you booked in the last 24 hours, some airlines will allow you to cancel for free. You should check the Airline rules + restrictions section in your itinerary for details.
Important note: If you have booked two individual one-way tickets under the same booking and you need to cancel or change one or both of your flights, the cancellation/change rules and regulations are subject to the individual third-party airline. This means that the change/cancellation policies and the fees associated with them may differ from one ticket to the other.
