How Do I Transfer My Expedia Ticket to Another Person?
If you've booked a flight through Expedia and are now wondering, “Can I transfer my Expedia ticket to someone else?” — you’re not alone. Many travelers find themselves needing to make changes due to emergencies, scheduling conflicts, or unexpected events. However, transferring a ticket to another person isn’t always straightforward. Here's what you need to know — and don’t forget, you can always speak directly to an agent by calling +1(855)-785-2486 for guidance and assistance.
Understanding Airline Policies Through Expedia
The first and most important thing to know is that Expedia acts as a third-party booking platform. This means that the ability to transfer a ticket largely depends on the policies of the airline you’ve booked with — not Expedia itself. Most major airlines do not allow the transfer of airline tickets to another person, as tickets are issued in a specific name and tied to that individual’s identification.
Still, this doesn’t mean all hope is lost. Before you give up, reach out to Expedia directly at +1(855)-785-2486. A customer service representative can explain the specifics of your ticket type and what options you may have, such as canceling or rebooking.
What Can You Do Instead of Transferring?
Since most airline tickets are non-transferable, your next best options are usually:
Canceling the ticket (if allowed) and rebooking under the new person's name.
Using flight credit or e-vouchers (if the ticket is refundable or flexible).
Paying a change fee, if the airline allows a name correction.
Before taking any of these steps, it's highly recommended to contact Expedia at +1(855)-785-2486 to determine if your ticket qualifies for any of these changes.
Flexible Tickets and Name Changes
Some tickets are labeled as “flexible” or “premium” fares, especially on international flights. These tickets sometimes allow for limited changes — including small corrections to a name (e.g., misspelling). However, even flexible tickets rarely allow for a full name transfer to a different person.
Calling Expedia at +1(855)-785-2486 is the fastest way to know if your fare type has any flexibility. The support team can also contact the airline on your behalf and attempt to negotiate changes, especially if your reason for changing is compelling.
What If the Ticket Is Non-Refundable?
Non-refundable tickets are typically the hardest to change or cancel. If your ticket is marked “non-refundable,” you cannot transfer it, but you might still be able to cancel and receive credit, depending on the airline’s rules.
By calling +1(855)-785-2486, Expedia may be able to initiate this process and help you secure travel credit under the original traveler’s name. Unfortunately, that credit often cannot be transferred to another person, but it might at least save some of your money.
Exceptions: Budget Airlines and Special Cases
Some low-cost or budget airlines like Allegiant Air, Spirit, or Ryanair (outside the U.S.) might allow you to change the name on a booking for a fee. If your Expedia booking is with such an airline, +1(855)-785-2486 is your best contact to check whether this is an option and how much it might cost.
In certain emergency cases — such as a traveler passing away or becoming seriously ill — airlines may be willing to work with you. Expedia’s agents at +1(855)-785-2486 can help facilitate documentation and appeals to the airline’s exceptions policy.
What to Prepare Before You Call
When calling Expedia at +1(855)-785-2486, make sure to have the following ready:
Your Expedia itinerary number
The full name on the original ticket
The name of the airline
The dates of travel
A brief explanation of why you need to change the passenger name
Having this information on hand can help the agent assess your case quickly and efficiently.
