Can I cancel my Orbitz booking and get a refund?

Yes, you can cancel your booking, but a refund is not guaranteed. Orbitz acts as a travel agent, so your refund eligibility depends on the specific Rules and Restrictions set by the airline or hotel.

Important 2026 Update: The 24-Hour Guarantee

Orbitz offers a 24-hour flight cancellation guarantee for most flights booked with major US carriers.

• The Window: You typically have until 10:00 PM or 11:00 PM on the day following your purchase to cancel for a full refund.

• Exceptions: This does not apply to most low-cost carriers (like Spirit or Frontier) or international airlines. If you are outside this window, standard airline penalties (often $200–$500) will apply.

How to cancel:

1. Log in to your account and go to My Trips.

2. Select the trip you wish to cancel and click "Cancel".

3. A pop-up will display any applicable fees before you finalize the request.

Can I change my Orbitz booking?

Yes, amendments are possible, but Orbitz and its partners charge fees for these changes.

• Flight Changes: Most airlines charge between $200 (domestic) and $300+ (international) to change a ticket, plus any difference in airfare. Orbitz may also charge its own administration fee (typically around $30).

• Hotel Changes: Many hotels allow you to change dates or room types, but if you booked a "Non-Refundable" or "Express Deal," changes are generally prohibited.

• Vacation Packages: In 2026, Orbitz recommends cancelling and rebooking each component (flight, hotel, car) separately if a package change is required.

Can I change the name on my Orbitz booking?

It depends. While Orbitz has a strict name correction policy, full name transfers (giving your ticket to someone else) are often restricted by airlines.

Name Correction vs. Name Change:

• Name Corrections: For minor spelling errors or legal name changes (e.g., marriage), you must fill out the Orbitz Name Correction Form. Fees may apply.

• Name Changes: Most US airlines do not allow you to transfer a ticket to another person. However, many hotels allow guest name changes for free. If you can change the name, you can sell your booking to another traveler to get your money back.
