If you notice a spelling mistake or incorrect name on your Fiji Airways flight booking, you can request a correction before your flight. Fiji Airways allows minor name corrections to ensure the name on the ticket matches the passenger’s passport or government ID, reducing the chance of issues at check-in or boarding.
What Name Corrections Are Allowed
-
Small typographical errors (e.g., misspelled first or last name)
-
Swapped first and last names
-
Missing or extra characters in the name
-
Middle name adjustments when needed to match ID
What Is Not Allowed
-
Changing the ticket to a completely different person (ticket transfers) is generally not permitted and may require purchasing a new ticket.
How to Request a Name Correction
Corrections can typically be done by:
-
Using the Manage Booking section on the airline’s website to update the name
-
Contacting customer service for assistance
-
Working with the travel agent if the ticket was booked through a third party
Timing and Fees
-
Minor corrections requested soon after booking are often easier to process and may be free, depending on the fare rules.
-
Corrections requested closer to departure may incur a fee, which varies by route, fare type, and timing.
-
If the ticket was booked through a third-party site, restrictions may apply and changes may need to be handled through the original booking source.
Important Note
Make sure the corrected name exactly matches the passenger’s passport or travel ID to avoid delays or denied boarding at the airport.
