Expedia doesn't show any fare rules when I click on them. According to their selection screen the ticket says "
Changes allowed, possible fare difference"
This is a similar ticket from ITA Matrix. Can you make out from this if I can cancel to a voucher and rebook new ticket? Like I mentioned earlier its a business class ticket.
Thank you for your assistance @Dave Noble.
