Booked a flight ticket with wrong passport number via a travel agency
I just purchased a flight ticket operated by Vietnam Airlines on Expedia, but I didn't notice the section on entering the passport number on the payment page on Expedia, and found that I completed the purchase without entering my passport number.
The problem was that I recently renewed my passport, and didn't edit my passport number on Expedia in advance.
So the ticket was purchased with my wrong passport number. In this case,
Can I still change the passport number only or do I have to book a new flight ticket with the old one being a waste?
Is it free of charge to change the passport number if it is possible? I got charged in Spring Airlines recently...
Is it Expedia or Vietnam Airlines that I should contact?

As it's not unusual for a new passport to be issued between the time a ticket is purchased and the actual flight, it shouldn't be a problem. Carry both the old and new passports with you, just in case you're questioned about it when you check in at the airport. Your passport number is not on your ticket, it's in your passenger record and having both passports should be sufficient. You should just have to update your Expedia account.
