Expedia Flight Cancellation Policy

Expedia's flight cancellation policy depends on the specific airline, the type of ticket you booked, and when you cancel. In general, Expedia allows you to cancel most flight bookings within 24 hours of purchase for a full refund, as long as the booking was made at least 7 days before your scheduled departure. This is part of the "24-hour cancellation rule" that many airlines and online travel agencies follow to ensure customer flexibility.

For flights booked less than 7 days before departure, Expedia’s ability to refund your ticket depends on the airline's individual cancellation policy. Many airlines offer partial refunds or credits for future flights if you cancel, but this usually comes with a fee, especially for non-refundable tickets. If you purchased a non-refundable ticket, you generally won't get a cash refund, but you may be able to apply the value of the ticket toward a future booking, often minus a fee.

In some cases, Expedia Air Flights Tickets may also offer a "Cancel for Any Reason" (CFAR) option during booking. This is a paid add-on that allows you to cancel your flight for any reason and receive a full or partial refund. However, this option needs to be selected at the time of booking, and it's important to check the details, including time frames and requirements.

For more complex or specific situations, such as changes in travel plans due to emergencies or the airline’s operational issues, Expedia’s customer service can provide guidance. Be sure to check both Expedia’s and the airline’s policies when considering a flight cancellation, as this will help you understand your options for refunds, rebookings, or travel credits.
