Traveling can be an exciting adventure, but sometimes, life throws us an unexpected obstacle and we need to adjust our plans. Changing your ticket on Expedia doesn't have to be a difficult process, regardless of the reason - a personal emergency, an unforeseen timetable change, or a change of plans. Changing your airline reservation is very simple with Expedia, one of the top online travel companies in the globe. We'll assist you through the Expedia flight change process in this blog post so you may resume your travels as soon as possible.

Steps :How to Change Your Flight on Expedia

Changing a flight through Expedia is a fairly straightforward process. Follow these steps to make the change as smoothly as possible.

1. Check the  Expedia Flight Change Policy

Before making any changes, it's essential to understand the airline’s change policy. While Expedia acts as an intermediary for your flight booking, the actual rules and fees for flight changes are determined by the airline. Make sure you’re aware of:

Change fees: Many airlines charge a fee for modifying a flight, although some airlines are more flexible, especially with premium tickets.

Depending on the airline, you might be able to change your flight only within a given timeframe (for example, 24 hours or before the scheduled flight).

Fare differences: You could be required to pay the fare difference if your new flight is more expensive than the original one. Please consult the Airline's FAQs or Expedia flight change policy page for terms and conditions applicable to your booking.

2. Log In to Your Expedia Account

To change your flight, you will first need to log in to your Expedia account:

  • Go to the Expedia website.
  • Click on Sign In at the top right corner of the page.
  • Enter your email address and password associated with your Expedia account.

If you made your booking without an account, you can still get into your booking by entering your Itinerary number and last name.

3. Locate Your Booking

Once you are logged in:

  • Click My Trips at the top of the page to see all of your current and past bookings.
  • Choose the flight you would like to change.

This will open up your trip details, where you'll see the flight itinerary, the booking reference, and you can change your booking here.

4. Select "Change Flight"

Change Flight is an option available in the trip details page. The button may be available directly on the Expedia website or it might prompt you to contact the airline directly depending on your airline's policy.

In the event Expedia offers different dates, times, or locations, click-through on-screen options. Expedia will then reveal other available possibilities, including differences in fees and fares, which your flight may incur.

Additionally, if you need to contact the airlines directly in order to communicate some other point, you would then be left with the airlines' contact information—customer service telephone number and link to handle it straight from the airlines' site.

5. Review your new flight details and fees

After you have chosen your alternative flights, Expedia will preview a summary of:

The New Flight Details: This should include the new departure dates and times and routes selected.

Fees and difference in fare: Expedia will indicate any change fees as well as fare increases associated with the change. If you owe a balance of additional costs, you would be prompted to pay them at this point.

Carefully review all the details presented before you. If everything appears fine, proceed with confirmation of the changes.

6. Confirm Your New Flight

You may confirm your new flight when viewing new flight details and charges;

  • Select to confirm your changes using a click button, such as "Confirm Changes" or "Pay Now."
  • You are informed of any extra payments made and are prompted to insert the payment details if required.

Once confirmed, you will receive an updated itinerary via email, and your new flight will be reflected in your Expedia account.

7. Check for Any Additional Communication

Sometimes, after changing a flight, airlines will send an updated boarding pass or additional instructions. Check your email inbox (including your spam or junk folder) for any follow-up emails from Expedia or the airline regarding your new flight.
