Travel plans don’t always go as expected — weather delays, personal emergencies, or sudden changes often force us to rethink. If you booked a trip using Expedia flights, you're probably wondering: Can you cancel a reservation with Expedia and get your money back? The short answer is yes — but only under specific conditions. This comprehensive guide walks you through Expedia’s cancellation policies, timelines, and tips to ensure you don’t lose your travel investment.
Yes, Expedia allows reservation cancellations, but eligibility for a refund depends on the airline's policies and your booking type. For real-time support, call +1 833-654-7126.
Expedia acts as a travel aggregator—it provides flight bookings, hotel reservations, and vacation packages from third-party vendors like major airlines, hotels, and car rental agencies. Because of this, cancellation terms vary depending on the provider.
24-Hour Free Cancellation Rule: Expedia supports free cancellations within 24 hours of booking (as long as the flight is booked at least 7 days before departure).
After 24 Hours: You're bound by the airline’s policy, not Expedia’s. Some tickets may be non-refundable or may charge a change/cancellation fee.
Basic Economy Tickets: Usually non-refundable and non-changeable, even if booked through Expedia.
Refundable Tickets: If your ticket is labeled as “Refundable” at the time of booking, you’re in luck. You can cancel anytime before departure and receive a full or partial refund.

Many travelers assume that canceling a trip through Expedia is straightforward. Unfortunately, not knowing the fine print can lead to:
Losing hundreds of dollars on non-refundable bookings
Confusion between Expedia’s policy and the airline's
Delayed or denied refunds
Stressful last-minute calls and hold times
Travelers often face a frustrating loop: Expedia redirects you to the airline, and the airline sends you back to Expedia. It’s essential to know who controls your reservation before attempting to cancel.
