If you need to fix a name on your Qantas flight ticket, it’s usually possible only for minor mistakes or legal name updates — not for giving the ticket to another person. Qantas lets passengers correct small spelling errors, typos, and document mismatches as long as the traveler remains the same person.
What You Can Fix
-
Small spelling mistakes or typing errors in first or last names
-
Minor corrections before check-in
-
Legal name changes (e.g., after marriage or divorce) with supporting documents
What You Cannot Do
-
Transfer a ticket to another person — full name changes are not allowed and require cancelling and rebooking.
How to Request a Name Change
-
Use the Manage Booking tool on Qantas’ site to check if online edits are possible.
-
If online option isn’t available, contact Qantas customer support.
-
If you booked through a third-party agent, request the change through the agent.
Timing & Fees
-
Changes must be made before check-in — last-minute requests may not be accepted.
-
Fees may vary by fare type and flight route — domestic corrections can be easier and cheaper, while international corrections may cost more.
-
Early action increases the likelihood of approval and can reduce fees.
Important Tips
-
Always make sure the ticketed name exactly matches your passport or travel ID to avoid check-in or boarding problems.
-
Carry any supporting documents if the change is due to a legal name update.
This summary explains the Qantas name change rules, eligibility, and process so you can fix name errors smoothly before travel.
