Name correction

Reviewed September 2026

Fixing a passenger name on a ticket so it matches the passport — a transposed letter, a missing middle name, a marriage-related change. Tickets are non-transferable, but corrections are distinct from transfers, and most airlines permit minor fixes free or for a modest fee. The stakes are boarding denial, so the rule is simple: book in the exact passport name, check the confirmation the day you receive it, and raise any mismatch immediately while correction windows are open.
