Spellcheck

-

What should you do if you realise your name has been incorrectl­y spelled on an airline ticket?

● For security reasons, it is industryst­andard across all airlines that the name on your ticket matches your passport.

●However, the process of changing or correcting a name depends on several factors such as the airline, who booked the ticket (an individual, third-party website or travel agent) and how far in advance you seek assistance. According to Qantas, name correction­s are permitted on Qantas-operated flights but they involve a fee. If the booking is made through a travel agent, customers need to make correction­s through the travel agent and the process may involve providing supporting documents such as a passport or driver’s licence.
