If your booking is not messed up by Expedia you are fine, but if happens to be messed up like mine was it is a hell situation.
Arrived in New York in the middle of the night. In the hotel I booked (confirmed booking) there was no room. After 2 hours on the phone the Expedia agent relocated to another hotel; at my own expense. I was forced to pay out of pocket twice as much as I spent when I did the booking online. In the last 3 weeks I spoke to 10 different customer service representatives to be refunded. I was usually on hold for 30-40 minutes, because a "supervisor was in search". Never could talk with a supervisor... I sent the invoice of the hotel stay to prove how much I payed. They lost the fax. I sent it again, no trace of the fax again. It stunk because I got confirmation that the fax went through. I was promised phone calls regarding my refund. Guess how many times Expedia contacted me. Nada, zero. I want simply back my money, basically it is a theft and I will contact the police if nothing happens soon. What can we customers do? We do not chose Expedia and share our experience online. Hope it helped.
This message is to provide documentation (by reproducing part e-mail messages I receive from EXPEDIA) to show how EXPEDIA lie to customers in order to steal your money. I will send several messages. This is the first one of a serie. All messages are also sent to different EXPEDIA’s e-mail addresses (sales@expedia.com, press@expedia.com, travel@customercare.expedia.com, travel@expedia.com) asking them to tell me if they think the information I’m putting here is wrong.
My case is regarding two tickets I bought from EXPEDIA (see detail here: http://www.my3cents.com/showReview.cgi?id=12466)
EXPEDIA never deliver one of them in a timely manner, but they advised me to make the first trip because they would take care of the second trip buy contact KLM (Royal ROYAL DUTCH AIRLINES) in Europe in order to make possible my second trip. However, when I was in Europe, KLM was never contacted. I send an e-mail to EXPEDIA but they never answer my e-mail. I talk by phone but they couldn’t fix the problem. So, I was abandoned by EXPEDIA in Europe.
Below are partial transcrips of late e-mail from expedia and KLM showing how EXPEDIA lies to customers.
“An e-mail was received from you on October 4 requesting information to be sent to KLM. Our agent released the record to KLM and sent an e-mail confirming this information.”
This was the e-mail EXPEDIA claim they sent to me:
Dear XXXXXX,
I have released the information over to the airline. If you contact them now, they should have all they need to issue you another ticket.
If you have further questions, feel free to reply to this e-mail or contact Expedia customer services at 1-800-397-3342 and reference case ID 21791114. You can also visit the Expedia.com "Customer Support" page () for more customer service information.

This is a proof that EXPEDIA did not gave the information to KLM, in other word they charged my credit card for a trip that I never had a chance to take.
Until now, EXPEDIA did not want to accept their responsibility.
My credit card reimbursed me part me part of the money, but EXPEDIA still took part in a fraudulent way.

I bought a ticket on Expedia for my son to travel to Kenya this summer. He needs to change his departure date, and the ticket rules and regulations when I purchased the ticket said that changes are possible, on outbound and inbound flights (with penalties, which we agree are okay). Expedia refuses now to let us change the date of travel, and says that the rules apply ONLY to the London-Nairobi leg, the rules applying to the Nairobi-London leg cannot be accessed but do not permit changes. I cannot fathom that rules can be applied that the purchaser cannot access; on the website, it is stated that one can \"See an overview of all the rules and restrictions applicable for this fare.\" and \"View the complete penalty rules for changes and cancellations associated with this fare.\"\\ yet this is not possible, and we have been led to spend a lot of money that we now forfeit. We will bring a lawsuit against Expedia for this..we would be interested to hear if others have experienced similar difficulties.
