How Do I Upgrade My Flight or Seat on Expedia (Including First-Class Options)?
 
Last summer, I booked a long-haul flight to Paris through Expedia, but I realized later I wanted a bit more comfort for the overnight trip. I wasn’t sure how to upgrade my seat at first, but it turned out to be pretty simple. I logged into my Expedia account, went to “My Trips,” and clicked on my booking. There was an option to “Upgrade Seat” that redirected me to the airline’s page where I could choose between Premium Economy and First Class. I ended up calling the airline’s customer service to confirm the upgrade cost and pay directly — they processed it in minutes. My advice: always double-check fare eligibility since not all tickets can be upgraded online. If you ever get stuck or need to make quick changes or cancellations, calling Expedia’s support line is honestly the fastest way to sort things out.
 
To upgrade your flight or seat on Expedia, go to your itinerary on the Expedia website or app and look for an “Upgrade” or “Change seat” option. If the airline offers better seats (like extra legroom or first class), you’ll see those available and the price difference before you confirm. You can also manage your booking directly on the airline’s site using your airline reservation number — sometimes more upgrade options appear there. If you don’t see an upgrade online, calling Expedia’s customer service can help you explore what’s available and how much it will cost.
 
In Expedia, locate your reservation, then, under the Manage booking option, choose your flight, and then, Under the Upgrade seat/class. Select an option that is the first-class or premium and cost the difference in fare and fees.

To upgrade your flight or seat on Expedia, go to “Manage my booking,” select your reservation, and choose “Change seat” or “Upgrade”. If available, you can pay for a premium or first-class seat during this process.
 
Upgrading a flight booked through Expedia can take a bit of patience, at least from my experience. I once booked a basic economy ticket and later realized I wanted extra legroom for a longer trip. I checked my Expedia booking first, then followed the airline link to see seat upgrade options. When I needed help changing things quickly, calling 866-204-0803 was honestly the easiest solution. They helped me review upgrade choices and even adjust my booking without starting over.
 
To upgrade your flight on Expedia, log in and go to “My Trips.” Select your booking, then choose “Manage Booking” or “Change Flight.” Check available seat upgrades or first-class options, compare prices, and follow prompts to confirm. Payment may be required for upgraded seats or premium cabins.
