The name on your booking must match the name on your passport or national ID. Inverting some letters or putting an abbreviated version of your name (such as Mike instead of Michael) is not acceptable. We want to make sure you’re the one flying and aren’t giving the ticket to someone else, as tickets are generally nontransferable. As soon as you notice the mistake, go to our website and submit the name change request by the following link.
