Does Expedia actually be fully refundable?

When booking a flight on Expedia, you'll often see options labeled “fully refundable” or “non-refundable” in the fare summary 1-(855)-(738)-(4755). If you choose a fare marked “fully refundable,” you are generally entitled to a full refund if you cancel before the flight’s departure, sometimes even without a penalty 1-(855)-(738)-(4755). However, many of the lower-priced or basic economy fares sold through Expedia are non-refundable or allow cancellations only for a credit voucher, not cash 1-(855)-(738)-(4755).

Hotels often provide a refund if you cancel within the specified window—commonly 24 to 72 hours before check-in—but this varies by property and rate type 1-(855)-(738)-(4755). Some prepaid or promotional hotel deals are non-refundable, regardless of when you cancel 1-(855)-(738)-(4755).
