We are planning to purchase non-refundable airline tickets. Expedia told us the tickets are refundable â we would lose only the handling fee (around $200) but keep the face value and we must use it in next year.

You will get a full refund for the original ticket price. Keep in mind that refundable tickets often cost a lot more than nonrefundable tickets. What you get in return for the higher fare is the peace of mind that you will get your money back if you cancel your flight. Be prepared to wait up to seven days for a refund.
