Understand the Difference
A Small Typo Can Require Attention
Passenger details on a flight reservation should match the identification documents required for your journey. If you discover an incorrect letter, missing name or other discrepancy, check with your airline or booking provider as soon as possible.
Each airline may have its own process for correcting passenger information. Minor spelling corrections, changes to a passenger's legal name and transferring a ticket to another person are not necessarily treated the same way.
TravelBookUSA offers a phone contact option to discuss your enquiry. Any eligibility, documentation requirements, charges and final approval must be confirmed before proceeding.
Common Enquiries
What Needs to Be Corrected?
The examples below are common passenger-detail enquiries, not a guarantee that a specific correction will be permitted.
Missing Name Details
Enquire about omitted or incomplete passenger details and whether an update is permitted.
Legal Name Updates
Ask what process and supporting documents may be required when a passenger's legal name has changed.
Important: A request to transfer a ticket to another person is different from correcting a spelling mistake. Many tickets restrict passenger substitutions. Confirm the applicable rules directly before making arrangements.

Name Correction FAQs
Can a spelling mistake be corrected?
Some airlines allow certain corrections. Contact your airline or booking provider to confirm the rules for your ticket.
Is a name correction the same as changing a passenger?
No. Correcting a typo is different from transferring a ticket to another person. Passenger substitutions may be restricted.
Will I have to pay a fee?
Fees depend on airline rules, ticket conditions and the type of correction. Confirm all charges before proceeding.
What if my legal name has changed?
Ask your airline or booking provider about its legal name update procedure and any required supporting documents.
Does calling guarantee a correction?
