What should I do if I put the wrong name on my flight ticket?

Name Corrections
Airline policies on post-booking name changes vary significantly. Some airlines allow travelers to change the name on their flight ticket if it has been misspelled.

Please note that most airlines that permit name corrections will charge a fee for this service, and our own name correction fees will also apply.

Some airlines even permit traveling with an incorrectly spelled name (around 1-3 letters), provided that:

  • the pronunciation isn't altered,
  • the first letter of the name/surname is correct, and
  • the flight is within Europe

However, this option is not guaranteed and must be confirmed by the airline.

If a booking includes more than one airline, a name change may cause technical issues. It is therefore highly important to verify that the name on your ticket is spelled correctly, as it appears in your passport, when you make the booking.

If you come across an error in any of the names on your tickets, please contact us [LINK] and we will inform you of your options.

Transferring a ticket to another passenger
As a rule, transferring a ticket to another person is not allowed. However, certain airlines offer exceptions. Please contact us for more information.
