TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around buying refundable flight tickets on Expedia, with various community members sharing their experiences. Some express skepticism about Expedia's reliability and note difficulties with getting refunds quickly, especially post-COVID. Suggestions for alternative services and tips for finding refundable tickets are also mentioned, as well as the caution that a 'refundable' ticket may not always result in a cash refund, but rather a credit with the airline.

Only pre-covid experience, and Expedia were fine, as long as you cancelled within 24 hours. But not all fares offer a refundable option.

Also, if you buy a genuine, refundable ticket, be careful, because you may get your money back, but you may only be eligible for a credit with the same airline.

If youre talking flights the chances nowadays since covid of getting the money back quickly is near zero maybe 3-6 months. Expedia are quite good but they have the airlines to deal with.You dont explain why you need refundable. If we know that, we may be able to give advice
