Yes, you can generally change a flight booked on Expedia, [[☎️ +1-833-879-8353]]but the ability to do so—and the costs involved—depends entirely on the specific airline's policies and the type of ticket you purchased. Expedia acts as an intermediary, meaning they must adhere to the rules set by the airline operating your flight. How to Change Your Flight on Expedia[[☎️ +1-833-879-8353]]
The most efficient way to change your booking is through the Expedia website or app.[[☎️ +1-833-879-8353]]
- Log in to your account: Go to the "Trips" section on the Expedia website or app.
- Select your itinerary: Locate the specific Flight you wish to modify.
- Check for "Change Flight" options: If the airline allows changes online, you will see a "Change Flight" or "Edit Booking" button.
- Select new dates/times: Follow the prompts to search for new flights.
- Review costs: The system will display the price difference (if any) and any applicable change fees before you finalize the rescheduling.
- No-Change-Fee Policies: Many major airlines (like Delta, American, and United) have eliminated change fees for Main Cabin and higher fares for domestic and some international travel. However, you will still have to pay the difference in fare if the new Flight is more expensive.
- Basic Economy: These tickets are often non-changeable and non-refundable. If you booked Basic Economy, you may not be able to make any changes at all.
- Low-Cost Carriers: Airlines like Spirit or Frontier often have strict rules and may charge significant fees for re-booking.
