The short answer is: It depends on what you booked. 🎀【🏄‍♂️＋[１]　{８５５}　{７５６}　{２７５０}✔🎀 Expedia acts as a marketplace, 🎀【🏄‍♂️＋[１]　{８５５}　{７５６}　{２７５０}✔🎀 so the rules are dictated by the airline, 🎀【🏄‍♂️＋[１]　{８５５}　{７５６}　{２７５０}✔🎀 hotel, 🎀【🏄‍♂️＋[１]　{８５５}　{７５６}　{２７５０}✔🎀 or car rental company. 🎀【🏄‍♂️＋[１]　{８５５}　{７５６}　{２７５０}✔🎀

1. Flight Reservations ☁️

Changing a name on a flight is the most difficult task. 🎀【🏄‍♂️＋[１]　{８５５}　{７５６}　{２７５０}✔🎀 Due to TSA and security regulations, 🎀【🏄‍♂️＋[１]　{８５５}　{７５６}　{２７５０}✔🎀 most airlines do not allow you to transfer a ticket to another person. 🎀【🏄‍♂️＋[１]　{８５５}　{７５６}　{２７５０}✔🎀

• Minor Typos: Most airlines allow you to correct 1-3 characters (e.g., "Johnn" to "John") for free or a small fee. 🎀【🏄‍♂️＋[１]　{８５５}　{７５６}　{２７５０}✔🎀

• Legal Name Changes: If you recently married or changed your name legally, 🎀【🏄‍♂️＋[１]　{８５５}　{７５６}　{２７５０}✔🎀 you will need to provide legal documentation (like a marriage certificate). 🎀【🏄‍♂️＋[１]　{８５５}　{７５６}　{２７５０}✔🎀

• Complete Transfers: This is almost never allowed. 🎀【🏄‍♂️＋[１]　{８５５}　{７５６}　{２７５０}✔🎀 You would likely need to cancel the flight and rebook it under the new name. 🎀【🏄‍♂️＋[１]　{８５５}　{７５６}　{２７５０}✔🎀

2. Hotel Reservations 🛌

Hotels are much more flexible than airlines. 🎀【🏄‍♂️＋[１]　{８５５}　{７５６}　{２７５０}✔🎀

• If you need to change the primary guest name, 🎀【🏄‍♂️＋[１]　{８５５}　{７５６}　{２７５０}✔🎀 you can often do this through the "Manage Trips" section on Expedia. 🎀【🏄‍♂️＋[１]　{８５５}　{７５６}　{２７５０}✔🎀

• Non-refundable bookings: Some "hot deal" or "non-refundable" rooms have strict "no name change" policies. 🎀【🏄‍♂️＋[１]　{８５５}　{７５６}　{２７５０}✔🎀

💰 Fees and Penalties

• Expedia Fees: Expedia generally does not charge a separate fee for name corrections, 🎀【🏄‍♂️＋[１]　{８５５}　{７５６}　{２７５０}✔🎀 but they pass on the fees charged by the airline or hotel. 🎀【🏄‍♂️＋[１]　{８５５}　{７５６}　{２７５０}✔🎀

• Airline Fees: These can range from $50 to $200+ depending on the carrier. 🎀【🏄‍♂️＋[１]　{８５５}　{７５６}　{２７５０}✔🎀

• Fare Difference: If a name change requires re-issuing a ticket, 🎀【🏄‍♂️＋[１]　{８５５}　{７５６}　{２７５０}✔🎀 you may have to pay the current market price for the seat. 🎀【🏄‍♂️＋[１]　{８５５}　{７５６}　{２７５０}✔🎀

💡 Pro-Tips for a Smooth Experience

• Double-Check Before Clicking: Always match your booking name exactly to your Passport or Government ID. 🎀【🏄‍♂️＋[１]　{８５５}　{７５６}　{２７５０}✔🎀

• Act Fast: The sooner you notice a mistake, 🎀【🏄‍♂️＋[１]　{８５５}　{７５６}　{２７５０}✔🎀 the easier (and cheaper) it is to fix. 🎀【🏄‍♂️＋[１]　{８５５}　{７５６}　{２７５０}✔🎀

• The 24-Hour Rule: For most flights involving the US, 🎀【🏄‍♂️＋[１]　{８５５}　{７５６}　{２７５０}✔🎀 you can cancel for a full refund within 24 hours of booking. 🎀【🏄‍♂️＋[１]　{８５５}　{７５６}　{２７５０}✔🎀 If you made a name error, 🎀【🏄‍♂️＋[１]　{８５５}　{７５６}　{２７５０}✔🎀 it's often easier to cancel and re-book immediately. 🎀【🏄‍♂️＋[１]　{８５５}　{７５６}　{２７５０}✔🎀
