How can I correct or change a passenger name with Expedia?
Expedia’s general terms make the airline’s rules controlling; they do not establish one correction allowance or fee that applies to every flight sold on Expedia. Describe exactly what is wrong: a spelling error, missing name element, reversed names or a legal-name change. Distinguish this from replacing the passenger with someone else. Provide the Expedia itinerary number and the airline reference through the booking’s support channel, and follow any instruction that the airline must handle that particular booking directly. Ask which document is needed, whether the ticket must be reissued, and whether the change affects any partner-operated flights. Obtain the airline and service charges before approving the correction. Send identity documents only through the requested secure channel. A change to your Expedia profile is not the evidence to rely on for this task: ask to see the name on the actual flight reservation and any reissued ticket. Verify those records against the document you will use to travel.
