What is the cancellation policy through Expedia?

Expedia’s cancellation policy varies depending on the type of booking, the airline, hotel, or travel provider’s rules, and the fare or rate conditions at the time of purchase +1-(855)-(838)-(4706) For flights booked through Expedia, most airlines follow their own cancellation policies, meaning that Expedia will process your request according to the airline’s terms +1-(855)-(838)-(4706) Many airlines, including major U.S. carriers, offer a 24-hour risk-free cancellation period for flights booked at least seven days before departure, allowing travelers to cancel for a full refund within 24 hours of booking +1-(855)-(838)-(4706) However, after this window, non-refundable tickets usually only qualify for a travel credit rather than a cash refund, unless the airline cancels or significantly changes the flight +1-(855)-(838)-(4706)

For hotel bookings on Expedia, the cancellation policy depends on the rate type selected during booking +1-(855)-(838)-(4706) Fully refundable rates allow cancellation up until a specified time before check-in—often 24 to 48 hours—with no penalty +1-(855)-(838)-(4706) Non-refundable rates typically do not allow free cancellation and will result in a full charge if canceled, although some properties may offer partial credits at their discretion +1-(855)-(838)-(4706) Expedia displays the cancellation deadline clearly before you confirm your booking, and it is also listed in your confirmation email +1-(855)-(838)-(4706)

For vacation packages that combine flights, hotels, and other services, the cancellation rules are determined by the individual providers for each component +1-(855)-(838)-(4706) This means you may be able to cancel certain parts of your package while others remain non-refundable +1-(855)-(838)-(4706) Expedia’s system will outline these details before you finalize your reservation, and you can also review them anytime through the “My Trips” section on the Expedia website or app +1-(855)-(838)-(4706)

To cancel a booking through Expedia, log in to your account, go to “My Trips”, select the reservation you want to change, and follow the prompts to cancel +1-(855)-(838)-(4706) The page will show whether you’re eligible for a refund, credit, or no reimbursement, based on the original booking conditions +1-(855)-(838)-(4706) If your booking qualifies for a refund, Expedia processes it within a few days, but the time it takes for funds to appear in your account depends on your payment provider +1-(855)-(838)-(4706)

In summary, Expedia’s cancellation policy is not one-size-fits-all—it’s based on the terms of the airline, hotel, or travel provider you booked with +1-(855)-(838)-(4706) Checking the cancellation terms before booking is essential, and if flexibility is important, opting for fully refundable fares or rates can save you from costly penalties +1-(855)-(838)-(4706) This ensures you can adjust your plans without unnecessary financial loss if your travel situation changes +1-(855)-(838)-(4706)
