Taking Flight with the Right Name

Caught in the Name Game? In the hustle of booking, it's easy for typos to sneak in, or for you to forget that your ticket name needs to match your ID perfectly. Did you book under “Liz” but your passport says “Elizabeth”? Worry not! Let's get that sorted. We’ve all been there - excitement filling our fingertips, accidentally turning us into keyboard mashers instead of typists. If your name has acquired unexpected vowels, consonants, or identities, it’s time for some digital name surgery!

24 Hour Golden Rule: First things first, review your itinerary immediately upon receipt. Airlines often throw you a 24-hour lifesaver, a golden window where you can pluck out or add in the misplaced letters without your wallet entering into a state of despair. If you’ve recently changed your name, ensure you book under the name on your current, valid ID to avoid mismatch mayhem! 

Minor Typo Tango For those tiny, innocent typos, a quick jingle-jangle to the airline’s customer service might just do the trick. With a sweet tone and a sprinkle of please-and-thank-you, watch the typo fairies get to work!

Major Name Mayhem Now, for those who’ve undergone a complete name transformation, tread lightly and act swiftly. Consider cancelling and rebooking your ticket while the 24-hour grace fairy is still fluttering around. If she's flown away, brace for fees but dance through it - the adventure awaiting is worth every penny and every step of this administrative cha-cha!
