You’ve just spotted it. The name on your ticket says “Jon”, but your passport says “John.” Or worse – you bought the ticket for yourself, but your travel plans have changed, and your friend wants to go instead. Either way, you need to know: can you fix this, how much will it cost, and how quickly does it need to happen?
The short answer: it depends entirely on which airline you’re flying with. Some will fix a typo for free in under five minutes. Others will charge you more than the original ticket cost. This guide covers every major airline’s 2026 name change policy, what the fees actually are, and exactly what to do right now.
Just Spotted a Mistake? Do This First
- Check when you booked – if it’s within 24–48 hours, most airlines will fix it free
- Check how many characters are wrong – if it’s 3 or fewer, most airlines fix this free at any time
- Find your airline in the quick reference table below
- Go to Manage Booking online – always cheaper than calling
- Don’t check in yet – some airlines cannot change names after check-in is complete

Should You Pay the Fee or Buy a New Ticket?
Before paying any name change fee, always check the current price of a new ticket on the same flight. Here’s a simple rule:
- Name change fee is less than 50% of a new ticket price → pay the fee
- Name change fee is more than a new ticket costs → buy a new ticket and let the old one lapse (if non-refundable and low value)
- Your ticket is refundable → cancel and rebook in the correct name
- The flight is very soon → pay whatever it takes, being denied boarding costs far more
This is especially relevant for Ryanair, where the £115 name change fee routinely exceeds the original fare on promotional routes. A £29 Ryanair flight with a name error could cost you £144 total to fix — always check new ticket prices first.
Airline-by-Airline Name Change Policies 2026
Aer Lingus
- Minor typo fix: Free for small spelling errors – call their support team, and they will usually correct without charge
- Full passenger change: ✅ Allowed, but only via phone – no online self-service
- Fee: £80 per person, per flight. A return trip costs £160 total as the fee applies per leg
- Deadline: Name changes allowed up to 2 hours before departure
- How to change: Call Aer Lingus reservations directly. There is no online self-service option for name changes
Real situation: You booked Aer Lingus Dublin–London return for a colleague but they can no longer travel. You want to transfer it to someone else. The cost to change both legs: £160 – before even checking whether a new ticket might be cheaper. Always compare first.
Air Canada
- Minor typo fix: Free for corrections of up to 3–4 characters – call Air Canada support
- Full passenger change: Partial – only permitted on certain fare types (Flex, Comfort, some Premium). Basic economy tickets cannot be changed at all
- Fee: Free within 24 hours of booking. After that: $60 CAD for eligible fare types. Fully flexible fares (Latitude, Business Flex) are free. International itineraries or ineligible fares may be treated as a full rebooking with up to $200 penalty
- How to change: Phone or travel agent only – not available online. Have documentation ready for legal name changes
Air France
- Minor typo fix: Free if requested at least 30 hours before departure. Up to 3 character corrections handled without charge
- Full passenger change: ❌ Not permitted. Tickets are non-transferable. Cancel and rebook for a new passenger
- Fee: Free for minor corrections done early. Major corrections or last-minute changes may incur €50–€200 depending on fare type
- How to change: Use “My Booking” online for minor corrections of up to 3 characters. For anything larger, call Air France or contact via WhatsApp or social media. Request the change at least 30 hours before the flight
American Airlines
- Minor typo fix: Free – AA handles genuine spelling errors as a courtesy, especially within 24 hours of booking
- Full passenger change: ❌ Not permitted. Tickets are non-transferable. You must cancel and rebook
- Fee: No set fee for minor corrections. Major changes that require a ticket reissue may incur up to $200. If you booked directly with AA, genuine typos are usually fixed without charge
- How to change: Call American Airlines as soon as you spot the issue. Have your passport details ready. If booked through a third-party site, you will need to work through that agent
Real situation: Your passport says “Catherine,” but you booked as “Katherine.” Call AA immediately – this is a genuine spelling difference, and they will typically correct it as the same passenger without charge. Don’t leave it until the airport.
British Airways
- Minor typo fix: Free – call BA support and they will correct small errors as long as it is clearly the same person
- Full passenger change: ❌ Not permitted. BA tickets are strictly non-transferable
- Fee: Free cancellation within 24 hours of booking – use this window if you catch a mistake immediately. After 24 hours, minor corrections remain free but a full passenger swap is not possible at any price
- How to change: Call BA, or contact via Twitter DM or WhatsApp – BA’s social media support team is responsive. Note that updating your BA Executive Club profile name does not change the ticket; an agent must adjust the actual booking
easyJet
- Minor typo fix: Free online for corrections of up to 3 characters – title and gender changes are also free
- Full passenger change: ✅ Yes – easyJet is one of the most flexible airlines for passenger transfers
- Fee: £25 per person, per flight if changed more than 60 days before travel. £50 per person, per flight within 60 days of departure. Add £5 if done by phone rather than online. A last-minute round-trip name change could cost £100+
- Deadline: Name changes permitted up to 2 hours before departure online
- How to change: Use Manage Bookings on easyJet’s website or app. Select your booking, choose “Change Name,” pay the fee, and re-download your boarding passes. Always check the confirmation email once done
Real situation: You booked an easyJet return flight to Barcelona 3 months in advance. Your name is misspelt – “Sara” instead of “Sarah.” That’s a 1-character correction, so it’s free online. Log in to Manage Bookings right now, and it’s sorted in minutes. No phone call needed.
Emirates
- Minor typo fix: Yes – Emirates will correct misspellings, missing middle names, or incorrect surname entries
- Full passenger change: ❌ Not permitted. Tickets are non-transferable
- Fee: £10 per ticket for direct bookings. £20 per ticket if booked via a travel agent. This applies per ticket (not per leg), so a return journey incurs just one fee. Title changes and suffix additions are free
- Deadline: Corrections must be completed before the first flight in the itinerary departs
- How to change: Call Emirates customer service or visit a ticket office. If booked via an agent, that agent must process the request. Be ready with a passport copy to confirm the correct spelling. Legal name changes (marriage etc.) are usually waived with documentation
Jet2
- Minor typo fix: Free for corrections of up to 3 characters
- Full passenger change: ✅ Yes – Jet2 is one of the more flexible and affordable airlines for passenger transfers
- Fee: £35 per person, per flight. A return trip costs £70 total. Jet2 does not charge a fare difference for a name change – just the flat admin fee. If two people on the same booking need name changes, it’s £35 each
- Deadline: Online changes up to 5 hours before departure. By phone up to 4 hours before. Airport staff may also assist in genuine emergencies
- How to change: Log in to Manage My Booking on Jet2’s website. Find the name change option, pay the fee, and save the updated confirmation. Phone is also available but online is faster
Real situation: You’ve booked a Jet2 holiday to Tenerife but your partner can no longer travel and your sister wants to take their place. At £35 per flight, you’re looking at £70 to transfer both legs to your sister’s name – significantly cheaper than Ryanair or easyJet for the same scenario. Jet2 is one of the best airlines for this kind of last-minute swap.
KLM
- Minor typo fix: Free – KLM famously states “Typo? No charge, we don’t charge you for being human”
- Full passenger change: ❌ Not permitted. Tickets are personal and non-transferable
- Fee: €0 for genuine typo corrections. Legal name changes (marriage/divorce) also handled free with documentation
- How to change: Use “My Trip” on KLM’s website and look for the “Correct a typo” option. KLM’s social media support via Twitter or Facebook is also very responsive for name corrections. Allow up to 24 hours for the correction to process – do not leave it to the day of travel
Lufthansa
- Minor typo fix: Free – corrections for the same passenger (spelling errors, legal name changes with documentation) are handled without charge
- Full passenger change: ❌ Not permitted on standard fares. Only available on certain corporate or flexible fares
- Fee: Free before ticket issuance. €100 per passenger after ticket issuance for permissible name changes (typically only applicable to Flex or corporate fares). Corrections due to marriage, divorce, or minor errors remain free
- How to change: Contact Lufthansa’s service centre. Have your booking reference and any documentation ready. Changes should be made well before the flight – Lufthansa may not accommodate last-minute requests at the airport. If your ticket involves Austrian or SWISS (Lufthansa Group partners), coordinate with the issuing airline directly
Norwegian Air
- Minor typo fix: Free for minor errors – one or two characters can often be corrected online without triggering the full fee
- Full passenger change: ✅ Yes – except on fully restricted fares. Flex tickets include free name changes
- Fee: €65 per person, per flight for LowFare/LowFare+ tickets. A return trip costs approximately €130. Flex ticket holders pay nothing. Add €30 if done by phone or at the airport rather than online
- Deadline: Online name changes permitted up to 3 hours before departure
- How to change: Use “My Travels” on Norwegian’s website. The system will show the applicable fee before you confirm. If booked through an external agent, contact them to process the change, as they may add their own admin fee
Ryanair
- Minor typo fix: Free within 48 hours of booking – you can swap first and last names or correct up to 3 characters at no charge via “My Booking” online. Outside this window, even a single letter change may trigger the full fee
- Full passenger change: ✅ Yes – but at a significant cost
- Fee: £115 online / £160 via phone or airport. This is a flat fee covering all flights in the booking (so a return trip is £115 total, not per leg). This is one of the highest name change fees in the industry and frequently exceeds the original ticket price
- Deadline: Online changes up to 24 hours before departure. Phone or airport changes up to 2 hours before. If already checked in, you must ask Ryanair to undo check-in before a name change can be processed
- How to change: Use “Manage Booking” on Ryanair’s website – always cheaper than calling. For legal name changes (marriage, deed poll), contact Ryanair via their customer chat with documentation and they will usually waive the fee
Real situation: You booked a Ryanair flight to Malaga for £42 six weeks ago. You’ve just noticed your name shows “Davies”, but your passport says “Davis.” You’re outside the 48-hour free window. Your options: pay £115 online to correct it – nearly three times the ticket price – or check whether a new flight on the same date is now available for less than £115. If it is, buying a new ticket and accepting the loss on the original may actually be cheaper. Always compare before paying Ryanair’s name change fee.
SAS (Scandinavian Airlines)
- Minor typo fix: Free for obvious spelling corrections – SAS agents will typically update the name record without invoking the full rebooking fee
- Full passenger change: ✅ Yes on eligible tickets – SAS treats it as a rebooking, cancelling the original and issuing a new ticket in the new name
- Fee: Approximately £57 per person, per flight, plus any fare difference if the current price is higher than when you booked. If the fare has dropped, you do not receive a refund of the difference
- Deadline: Changes permitted up to 1 hour before departure on many routes, but earlier is always better
- How to change: Contact SAS customer service or your travel agent. Confirm total costs (fee plus any fare difference) before committing. SAS Go Light fares may not be changeable at all – check your fare type first
TUI Airways
- Minor typo fix: Free – spelling corrections handled without charge
- Full passenger change: ✅ Yes – UK package holiday regulations actually support name transfers, and TUI’s policy aligns with this. You can transfer a package booking to another person up to 7 days before travel
- Fee: £25 per person, flat fee regardless of timing. This is one of the lowest name change fees among UK airlines
- Deadline: At least 7 days before travel for package holiday transfers. Flight-only changes should be done as early as possible
- How to change: Call TUI customer service or visit a TUI store – name changes cannot be done online. If booked through an agent, they must process the request. For package transfers, TUI requires written notice (email) from the lead passenger
United Airlines
- Minor typo fix: Free – United handles genuine corrections (missing middle initials, maiden vs married name discrepancies, minor misspellings) without charge for the same passenger
- Full passenger change: ❌ Not permitted. United tickets are non-transferable
- Fee: Free for corrections. Major reissues (if required) may incur up to $200, though United has removed standard change fees on most fares since 2021. Basic Economy tickets remain restricted
- How to change: Call United reservations or check “My Trips” online. Minor fixes are usually added as a notation to the reservation rather than requiring a full ticket reissue. Legal name changes require supporting documentation (marriage certificate, deed poll). MileagePlus profile updates do not automatically change ticket names – an agent must adjust the booking separately
Virgin Atlantic
- Minor typo fix: Free – Virgin is one of the most straightforward airlines for corrections, with no punitive fees
- Full passenger change: ❌ Not permitted. Tickets are non-transferable
- Fee: £0 for name corrections, including legal name changes after marriage or divorce
- Deadline: Corrections accepted up to 2 hours before departure – generous, but do not push it that late
- How to change: Contact Virgin Atlantic by phone or WhatsApp (Virgin’s WhatsApp support is particularly convenient). Explain the issue and provide the correct spelling. For legal name changes, email a copy of your marriage certificate or deed poll. Once corrected, you will receive a new e-ticket. Note: Virgin does not require middle names on tickets, so if that is the only discrepancy between your ticket and passport, you do not need to take any action
Real situation: You got married three months ago and have since updated your passport to your new surname, but your Virgin Atlantic transatlantic booking is still in your maiden name. Call Virgin or message via WhatsApp with your marriage certificate. They will reissue the ticket in your married name at no charge. Easy – and far better than trying to explain it at JFK.
Wizz Air
- Minor typo fix: Free for one correction of up to 3 characters – done online only. Title changes are also free
- Full passenger change: ✅ Yes – full passenger name changes are permitted for a fee
- Fee: €60 per person, per flight online. Add €15 if done via the call centre (total €75). A return trip costs €120 online. The one-time free 3-character correction applies per booking and must be done online
- Deadline: Online name changes up to 3 hours before departure
- How to change: Use Wizz Air’s website or app. Under your booking, select “Name change.” The system will show whether the free correction applies or the €60 fee. Pay online to avoid the additional call centre charge. If you booked via an agency, you will need to contact them to initiate the change. Save the updated confirmation after completing the process
Vueling
- Minor typo fix: Free for small spelling errors – contact Vueling customer service
- Full passenger change: ✅ Yes on Optima and TimeFlex fares. Basic fares may not be eligible
- Fee: Approximately €30–€50 per person, per flight depending on fare type and how far in advance the change is made
- How to change: Use Manage Booking online or call Vueling. Online is faster and usually cheaper
Turkish Airlines
- Minor typo fix: Yes – Turkish Airlines will correct genuine spelling errors, though policy is handled case by case
- Full passenger change: ❌ Not permitted on standard tickets
- Fee: Handled individually – contact Turkish Airlines directly for your specific booking. Fees vary by route, fare class and timing
- How to change: Call Turkish Airlines customer service or visit a ticket office. Bring your passport and booking reference. For legal name changes, documentation will be required
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, in many cases – but it depends on the airline. Low-cost carriers like Ryanair, easyJet and Jet2 allow full passenger name changes for a fee. Traditional airlines like British Airways, Virgin Atlantic and American Airlines do not allow you to transfer tickets to someone else. Minor spelling corrections are free at almost every airline if caught early.
Yes – the name on your ticket must match your passport. One wrong letter might be overlooked at security, but it is not guaranteed. Fix it now. Most airlines correct up to 3 characters for free, and the process takes minutes online. Do not risk being denied boarding over something easily fixable.
Only with certain airlines. Ryanair, easyJet, Jet2, Wizz Air, Norwegian and TUI allow full passenger transfers for a fee. British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, American Airlines, United and most other traditional carriers do not – you would need to cancel (possibly losing your money) and buy a new ticket for the new passenger. Always compare the name change fee against buying a new ticket before paying.
Contact your airline as soon as possible with your marriage certificate or deed poll. Most airlines – including Virgin Atlantic, Lufthansa, KLM and Emirates – will update the ticket to your new legal name at no charge. The key is that the name on your ticket and passport must match when you travel. If your passport is still in your old name, simply fly under that name and update the ticket once your new passport arrives.
Always online. Ryanair charges £45 more if you call instead of self-serving online. easyJet adds £5. Wizz Air adds €15. Use the airline’s Manage Booking portal whenever possible. Only call if the online system won’t allow the change you need.
It varies. Ryanair’s fee covers the whole booking (both legs). easyJet, Wizz Air and Norwegian charge per flight – so a return trip doubles the fee. Aer Lingus also charges per leg. Always check whether the fee quoted is per flight or per booking before paying.
Most airlines allow corrections until 2–3 hours before departure. Jet2 allows up to 5 hours online, 4 hours by phone. Ryanair allows online changes up to 24 hours before and phone/airport up to 2 hours before. Do not leave it to the airport – sort name issues at least 24 hours before your flight whenever possible.
Generally no. Most airlines do not require middle names on tickets and a missing middle name will not cause issues at security or boarding. The key requirement is that your first name and surname match your passport. Virgin Atlantic explicitly confirms this – if the only discrepancy is a missing middle name, no action is needed.
In the best case, the airline agent recognises it as a minor typo and lets you through. In the worst case, you are denied boarding and lose your ticket. Do not rely on airport staff being lenient — fix name issues in advance. If you arrive at the airport and realise the problem, go immediately to the airline’s check-in desk before joining the boarding queue. They may be able to process a correction on the spot for a fee, but there is no guarantee.
Key Takeaways
- Get the name right at booking. Check your passport before confirming. First name and surname must match exactly. Middle names are generally not required
- Act within 24–48 hours. Most airlines offer a grace period after booking where corrections are free. Use it the moment you spot a mistake
- 3 characters or fewer? Almost certainly free. Contact the airline now. It takes minutes and avoids bigger problems later
- Transferring to someone else? Only low-cost carriers allow this – Ryanair, easyJet, Jet2, Wizz Air, TUI and Norwegian. Traditional carriers do not. Compare the fee against buying a new ticket before paying
- Always use online self-service. Phone and airport changes cost more at nearly every airline. Use Manage Booking online whenever possible
- Legal name changes are almost always free. Marriage certificate, divorce decree or deed poll – provide documentation and most airlines will update your ticket at no cost
- Do not leave it to the airport. Sort name issues at least 24 hours before departure. Airport staff may not be able to help, and being denied boarding is far more expensive than any correction fee
Safe travels – and may all your bookings be error-free from the start.
Disclaimer: All airline name change policies, fees and procedures in this guide are accurate at the time of publication in June 2026. Airlines update their terms regularly. Always verify directly with your carrier before making any changes to your booking.
Bonjour j’ai fait une réservation de vol pour moi et ma conjointe le nom de famille de ma conjointe est Da Silva
Sur la réservation j’ai seulement écris Silva est ce que cela va poser problème si j’ai oublié deux lettre sur le nom ? Merci de votre réponse
It’s important that the name on your partner’s flight reservation matches their passport or ID exactly, as airlines generally require the full, correct name for security reasons. Even though “Da Silva” and “Silva” are similar, missing the “Da” could potentially cause issues during check-in or at security.
Recommendation: contact the airline as soon as possible to correct the name on the reservation. Most airlines allow minor name corrections, but it’s best to resolve it ahead of time to avoid any problems at the airport.
My daughter is flying to Miami in morning in BA flight then into Cayman Islands her surname is a Titchener Doyle but her ticket is just Doyle the travel agent won’t issue another ticket and told her to sort it out at check in
Is this the case
This is incorrect advice from the travel agent.
While it’s true that names on a ticket should generally match the passport, there is a degree of flexibility, especially when it comes to surnames. In many cases, airlines can accommodate a discrepancy between the full surname and a shortened version.
However, it’s essential that your daughter contacts British Airways directly to clarify the situation and to request any necessary amendments to her booking. They are the airline operating the flight and will be able to provide accurate and specific guidance.
Hi, I am traveling from Etihad airways heathrow terminal 4. I have only one name on passport which is my surname. In UK all the companies include banks use my same name as a first and last name. I bought a ticket and it shows same name two times( First & Last). Can it be problem when i go to airport and getting boarding pass? Please reply. Secondly on my ticket they wrote like this.FIRST NAME SAMIMRS. SUR NAME SAMI. Will it be fine???
Contact Etihad Airways: They can confirm if having one name will be an issue and advise on any steps you might need to take. You can find their contact information on their website.
Explain at Check-In: When you check in at Heathrow Terminal 4, politely explain to the agent that your passport only has one name, which is listed as both first and last name on your ticket.
Bring Supporting Documents: Take your bank statement or another official document showing your single name format alongside your passport for reference.
Regarding the format on your ticket (SAMIMRS. SAMI):
This format with “MRS.” in the middle is likely a system quirk and shouldn’t cause any problems. It seems they’ve tried to accommodate a middle name or title but left it blank.
Arrive early at the airport: This gives you time to address any issues at check-in.
Be polite and explain your situation to the airline staff.
I hope this helps! Have a great trip!
I understand that you’re worried about your friend’s middle name not being reflected on his passport and that you’re flying on Ethiopian Airlines next week. Here are some steps you can take to resolve the issue:
Follow up with Ethiopian Airlines to ensure that the name change has been processed and that the updated ticket has been issued.
Here are some additional tips:
Hi ….. would be so grateful if someone could advise. Made a booking for a friend but I added his middle names on the booking using his ID only later realising that the middle names did not reflect on his passport. First and middle names are the same. What is the way forward as we are travelling next week? Having an anxiety attack right about now. Flying on Ethiopian airlines. Have tried to engage with them but there has just been back and forth with no solution in sight. I cannot cancel and rebook as my farebasis is non refundable. Any assistance would we welcomed.
How can I change my name.. my ticket was book last October 16 .. all is wrong…
To change your name on a flight ticket, you need to contact the airline or travel agent you booked with. Most airlines will allow you to make minor name changes, such as correcting a typo or updating the ticket to reflect a legal name change. However, some airlines may not allow you to make any changes at all, or may charge a fee for doing so.
If you booked your ticket last October 16, you should contact the airline or travel agent as soon as possible to request a name change. This is because many airlines have a cut-off point for name changes, which can be anywhere from a few days to 24 hours before the flight.
My wife’s first name on passport is Murtaza and last name is hina but on ticket I put first name hina and last name Murtaza. is there be any issue? Please someone guide.
It is generally recommended that the name on your passport and airline ticket match exactly. This is to avoid any potential problems at the airport or during your travels.
However, in your case, the mistake is minor and involves only switching the first and last names. This is unlikely to cause any issues, especially since your wife’s passport includes both names.
To be on the safe side, I recommend that you contact the airline directly and let them know about the mistake. They may be able to update your ticket for free, or for a small fee.

How can book flight without last name o have in my passport only given name
I booked a holiday through Love holidays for a party of 7, as a package. At the time of booking, I realised after a couple of minutes that the surnames of the 4 passengers where incorrect. I rang love holidays straight away, and they corrected the issue straight away ( which I thought). After a couple of days I logged into the airline (corendon), I noticed that the 4 passengers surnames where still incorrect. I rang love holidays and they said that I would have to rectify this with the airline. The airline has now charged me a lump sum of 2,633.34 extra on top of my existing booking just for 4 passengers incorrect surnames.
