What passport & passenger details can I change for my flight booking?

Generally, you can update passport data, basic personal info and contact details for free or a small fee. Full name changes and passenger identity replacement are mostly not allowed.

Editable information

• Passport number and passport expiration date
• Gender, minor typos on date of birth and nationality
• Mobile phone number, email address and emergency contact information

Non-editable information (general rules)

• Full passenger name (legal name change, maiden name to married name etc.)
• Major revision of date of birth (e.g. changing birth year)
• Transfer the ticket to another person

Disclaimer: The above is for general reference. Final editable items and rules are subject to the operating airline’s policy.

What are the rules for correcting passenger names on flight?

Only minor spelling typos are acceptable with fees. Full name changes and major name adjustments are strictly prohibited on most tickets.

Allowed name corrections

• Minor typos (1-2 wrong letters), missing middle initials, or reversed given name and family name. Correction fees range from USD 20 to 100.

Restricted name changes

• Adding or removing a middle name: Rules differ by airline; some allow it for a fee, while others refuse entirely.
• Full name change (marriage, legal name update): Regarded as ticket transfer, almost always rejected by airlines.
• More than 2 misspelled letters: Not permitted for correction.

Disclaimer: Name modification is the most strictly regulated item. All approvals and fees are decided by the operating airline.

What is the valid time window to modify booking information?

Most changes are recommended to be completed before online check-in opens (24–48 hours prior to departure). Changes after check-in or close to departure face restrictions and extra fees.

Recommended time for modification

• Best period: Any time after booking and before online check-in (24–48 hours before flight). Most updates here are free and get approved quickly.

Rules for late modifications

• After online check-in: You need to cancel check-in first or contact customer support. Additional service fees may apply.
• Within 6 hours before departure: Most airlines limit or reject modification requests due to flight preparation procedures.
• On arrival at the airport: Only emergency corrections are accepted, with high handling fees, and approval is not guaranteed.

Disclaimer: Time limits vary by airline, fare type and route. Always finish updates as early as possible.
