If you made a mistake in your first or last name on the ticket, it’s important to contact the airline as soon as possible, since the details must exactly match your passport at boarding:
What to Do:
Call the contact center. Provide your booking number and explain the error.
Correction options:
Minor typos (1–2 characters) are often corrected free of charge or for a small fee.
Changing the name to another person’s or a full passenger replacement is usually not allowed — the ticket must be canceled and purchased again.
Deadline for requests:
The earlier you contact them, the higher the chance of making corrections without penalty.
After check-in has been completed, changes are usually impossible.
Prepare documents:
Passport or ID
Ticket purchase receipt
Screenshot showing the incorrect data
Written confirmation:
Ask the operator to provide written confirmation of the correction.
Tip:
Always double-check your details before payment — many errors can only be corrected for a fee.
❗ If the airline refuses to correct an obvious typo without explanation — 👉 file a complaint on Xolvie 👈. Your feedback will help other passengers avoid similar difficulties.
