How Do I Change My Flight on Expedia?

Introduction

If you booked a flight on Expedia and only later realized that you should have chosen a different itinerary, then you need to learn how to change your flight on Expedia. In most cases, this should be fairly easy to do. Sometimes, it will be kind of complicated. This is because different airlines have different rules for purchases made through the Expedia website.

What You'll Need

A lot of airlines have eliminated itinerary change fees. However, some still use them, so you might be required to pay a fee for the change even if your new trip is shorter.If your new trip is longer, you may also be required to pay the fare difference, on top of any itinerary change fees that apply.
Some airlines, such as Frontier and Ryanair, do not allow you to make changes via the Expedia website. Instead, you will be required to contact them directly for help making the change.If you made the original booking less than 24 hours ago, you might be able to just cancel the flight for a full refund and book another one with a better itinerary. In some cases, this might be your easiest and/or cheapest option.Certain flights on certain airlines, such as Basic Economy flights or special fares with restrictions on them, cannot be changed under any circumstances after they have been booked.If you had booked a round trip with separate tickets then you will need to change each of the flights individually. This may mean that you need to contact multiple different airlines.When you change your itinerary, you will be required to use the same airline that you made the original booking with.If you need to contact the airline you booked with to change your flight, look in your confirmation email. Contact information for your airline will be included in it. You can also find it in your itinerary.
