Price Drop Protection™
In addition to the Expedia terms of use, these terms and conditions govern Price Drop Protection that is purchased with a flight for a fee. If you want to learn about Price Drop Protection for Gold and Platinum One Key members, you can view the terms and conditions.

 

What is Price Drop Protection?

We want to help you get the best deal on your flight – that’s why we offer Price Drop Protection. When you book select flights with us, you can buy Price Drop Protection to get an automatic Price Drop Protection Payment for the difference if the price of your flight drops on Expedia.

 

How it works

After booking on Expedia and until the day your flight is scheduled to depart, we automatically check the price of your exact flight on Expedia once every 24 hours. Price Checks are based on the flight details you booked, including, for example, the same carrier, route, flight time, travel dates, cabin, and fare class. As a reminder, your flight details are available under Trips.

We’ll send you notifications about any price changes. If the price of your flight drops on Expedia, you’ll get a Price Drop Protection Payment for the difference after you complete your trip. Price Drop Protection Payments will be based on the lowest confirmed Price Check.

 

How to buy Price Drop Protection

Choose your flight and add Price Drop Protection, which is offered on select flights.

 

How to check for price changes yourself:

Visit the Price Drop Protection Dashboard to initiate real-time Price Checks. This way, you can make sure you are looking at the most up-to-date prices on Expedia. Here’s how to check:

1. Open your flight itinerary.
2. Under Price Drop Protection, follow View price changes.
3. You can check for price changes on the Price Drop Protection Dashboard from the day you book until the day your flight is scheduled to depart.

Price Check searches consider prices on Expedia only. No Price Drop Protection Payment will be issued based on prices shown on other apps or websites.

 

How to get your Price Drop Protection Payment

We want to make things easy and hassle-free for you. If your flight price goes down, just sit back and relax because we’ll automatically initiate your Price Drop Protection Payment after you complete your trip. If the price of your flight goes down multiple times, your Price Drop Protection Payment will be based on the lowest Price Check confirmed on the Price Drop Protection Dashboard.

The Price Drop Protection Payment will be credited to the original form of payment after you complete your trip. You can also track your Price Drop Protection Payment by clicking on View price history on your Expedia itinerary.

 

Other Terms & Conditions:

A “Price Check” determines if there is an exact match of the original Expedia itinerary on flights available on Expedia for all listed travelers based upon the details of the booking, including, but not limited to: base fare, taxes, and any mandatory fees charged by airports or airlines. Any additional fees or costs (such as Expedia booking fee, if any, or purchases of checked baggage and seat selection) are not considered.
2. Price Checks only consider prices that are available to the general public on Expedia. Special discounted prices such as prices offered as part of a flight + hotel travel combinations or Member Prices are not checked, as they are not eligible for a Price Drop Protection Payment.
