Hey folks,
Just wanted to share my recent experience in case it helps someone searching for how to get a refund from Expedia—especially for something as frustrating as seat issues.
I booked a flight through Expedia a few weeks ago and selected (and paid for) an aisle seat because I’m tall and really need the extra legroom. When I checked in, though, the airline had switched me to a middle seat way in the back. I called the airline first—they told me to talk to Expedia since I booked through them.
So here’s what I did: I went through the Expedia refund policy section on their site and submitted a claim under “seat not honored.” It wasn’t instant, but after a few follow-ups, I did get a partial refund for the seat selection fee. If you're wondering what is the refundable option on Expedia, it usually depends on what type of fare you selected at booking—some include flexibility or coverage for these kinds of things.
Pro tip: If you ever get stuck or feel like your request is being ignored, you can call Expedia directly at +1-855-300-3027. That’s the number I used to finally get through to a real person.
Honestly, I wish I had known all this before booking. If you're dealing with the same seat issue, or just trying to figure out how to get a refund from Expedia, don’t give up—it takes a little patience but it can work out.
Has anyone else had this happen? Would love to hear how you handled it!
Cheers,
Harvey Mary
