Canceling or deleting an itinerary or item
You can delete or cancel any item in an itinerary, or the entire itinerary itself. Procedures differ depending upon which action you decide to take.

Important: Before you cancel or delete reserved or purchased items, always be sure to review the rules and restrictions via the Detailed view link in the left margin of your itinerary. Charges may be applied by the airline, rental car company, or hotel depending upon their policies.

Click a topic below to quickly find the information you want.


Where to look for cancel/delete links



To delete an entire itinerary, you can find Delete this itinerary links in two places: on home page, to the right of the itinerary name, or in the itinerary itself in the Options menu in the left margin.

To delete or cancel a specific itinerary item, look for the delete and cancel links beneath the item in the itinerary.


Canceling a flight reservation or purchase



To cancel a flight reservation, click Cancel this reservation beneath a flight item. After you click this link, you'll be asked to confirm that you wish to cancel your reservation. If you do want to cancel, click Yes, otherwise click No.

To cancel a flight purchase, click Cancel this purchase. Flight ticket purchases cannot be canceled online, but a page will display listing your itinerary and confirmation numbers, and explaining the proper procedure for canceling flights.

Refunds, if applicable, will be credited by the airline to the purchaser's credit card account and may take up to two billing cycles to appear on the credit card statement. If penalties apply, our agents will inform you of the final amount, which will be deducted from the refund. If you are holding a paper ticket, the refund process begins when Expedia receives the ticket from you.


Canceling a car or hotel



To cancel a reserved rental car or hotel, click Cancel this reservation. This link will display a message box that asks you to confirm that you want to cancel the reservation, and gives you the option of canceling other reservations in the same itinerary. Cancellation charges may apply.


Deleting itinerary items



Each itinerary item offers a Delete this (flight/car/hotel) link beneath it. All itinerary items can be deleted, however, if you delete an active reservation, it will be cancelled. You cannot delete itinerary items in progress. For example, if you're taking a trip to Toledo, Spain, and attempt to delete your flight to Toledo from your itinerary, Expedia will not allow it. You cannot delete reserved or purchased itinerary items until 7 days after a trip has been completed.


Deleting itineraries



Each itinerary offers a Delete this itinerary link on home page, to the right of the itinerary name, or in the itinerary itself in the Options menu in the left margin. All itineraries can be deleted, but you cannot delete itineraries in progress. Itineraries in progress cannot be deleted until 7 days after a trip has been completed. If you delete itineraries that include reserved items, those reservations will automatically be canceled once you confirm your choice. Be sure to review the rules and restrictions via the Detailed view link in the left margin of your itinerary before deleting it. Charges may be applied by the airline, rental car company, or hotel depending upon their policies.
