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 only. Final editable items, restrictions and associated fees are fully subject to the operating airline’s policy and may differ per fare type or route.

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 vary greatly by airline, with a broad reference range of USD 0 to 200.

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: Restrictions vary by carrier; some airlines permit edits for up to 3 mismatched characters, while others reject any larger spelling errors.

Disclaimer: Name modification is the most strictly regulated item. All approvals and fees are decided exclusively 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 enforce stricter modification limits or decline requests entirely due to pre-flight ground handling procedures; this 6-hour mark serves only as general guidance, cutoff times differ per carrier.
• On arrival at the airport: Only emergency corrections are accepted, with high handling fees, and approval is not guaranteed.

❗ Disclaimer: Time limits for edits vary by airline, fare type and travel route. Always submit all information updates as early as possible.
