Yes, but under restrictions. Expedia will allow for minor name fixes – such as spelling mistakes or missing letters – to most types of flight tickets, but for the update to match your issued ID. For just changing the full name or for transferring your ticket to someone else – for most flights, it is a flat no. The policies for hotels and car rentals are a lot more lenient in that you can typically change the names directly through the account under your Expedia account feature, or by contacting customer service.

If you made an error while booking your flight—specifically, misspelling your name—Expedia’s name change policy allows minor corrections to take place, but enough to where you are not able to change their name completely. In other words, you’ll be able to take care of minor mistakes like typos and missing letters, but you cannot change names completely, or transfer the ticket to another person.

The policy will, however, depend on the airline you are flying with. Normally, airline ticket name changes are processed through the airline, so Expedia will follow the methods the airline has in place. Many airlines allow minor corrections for free, while others charge an extra fee.

• What is Expedia’s policy for name changes? You will need to ask for a name change as soon as possible. The best way to do this, is to contact customer support at Expedia and fill out their official name change form.
• Does Expedia allow minor spelling changes? Yes, if the changes are minor and in correspondence with the name on your government-issued identification.

Costs vary for changing the name on a reservation based on the type of reservation. If the misspelling is minor and is caught early enough, it is likely there will be no charge for the flight tickets, but there will be a fee if the misspelling occurred after the original purchase, as airlines often have a name change fee that is usually between $50 and $200+!. Expedia does not charge an additional name change fee for flights, but they will pass along any charges that the air carrier has to the customer.

For hotels or cars, in most cases, and with the exception of the partner provider policies, Expedia does not charge a name change fee which can usually be updated by calling customer support or managing your trip online.
