Expedia Bargain Fare: can you cancel within 24 hours?

Upvote:2

I have traveled on an Expedia bargain fare. I booked it on the UK site, and my experience relates only to the UK site. This was 3 years ago, and I can't find the e ticket, so some of this is from memory.

I booked a bargain fare from LON (London - all airports) to BOS (Boston Logan airport) return, with a potential of 1 stopover. The deal was approx £200 discount of the cheapest flight I could find, which was with Iceland air.

The fare rules were none transferable, and a cancellation fee of 100% of the fare.

The website stated that the flight(s) would depart between 6am and 6pm.

I expected to end up either with a regional flight to Europe then onwards to Boston, or possibly a flight to Newark with a connection onwards fron there.

I booked and was pleasantly surprised to get direct flights from Lhr (Heathrow) to Boston with American Airlines.

So the booking conditions that I was under meant that yes I could cancel, but I would lose all the money.

I tried pulling up terms and condition on Expedia both US and UK, and failed, however did find a very dated (2001!) link to a different forum site with Expedia bargain fares info.

Below is a screen grab of part of that, I suspect it relates to Expedia US

I hope this answers your query
