Flight booking through Expedia.com.sg

[ham.ham.lee]

Wanna ask, has anyone booked flight tickets from Expedia.com.sg?

How does the thing work? Cause my friend booked and it did not ask for his passport number, IC and all other impt info. Only full name is required, is it normal?

hi. I booked thru expedia too. It didn't ask for my passport number but I used full name from my passport. I haven't take the flight yet, it's coming end January. How about u?

I booked from expedia as well, according to them there is no need for all that info, as long as the name matches when you check in it is ok as e tickets do not require that.

I called them as my fight was for malaysia airlines and my reference number did not work on the website. They told me not to worry, my flight was already booked and confirmed. I then went to call up malaysia airlines and they confirmed my tickets too.

Should be safe but if you are worried just call/email the airlines and give them your reference code if it does not work on the website. Malaysian airlines hotline gave me some lame reason for why flights booked through expedia will not show up on their website.

Something about external bookings having a reference code that is generated by an external company and is not in their database. Its not like it is very hard to consolidate bookings/ generate a new reference code to give customers ease of mind as these purchases are well over a thousand dollars..I quoted them my "external" reference code when checking booking and they were able to retrieve my ticket status anyway.
