A missing middle name, a typo, or your maiden name showing up instead of your married name are some common booking mistakes people catch after payment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The good news is that Air India allows name changes in certain situations, but it doesn&#8217;t allow you to transfer your ticket to someone else. However, name change approvals depend on the type of correction, your documents, and how close you are to departure. Air India considers genuine spelling mistakes on a case by case basis with corrections limited to minor changes supported by valid documents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And if you haven\u2019t booked your flight yet, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flyopedia.com\/flights\/\"><b>book cheap flights from USA to India<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on Flyopedia.

India Ticket?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, you can change the name on an Air India flight ticket but only in specific situations. Air India allows name corrections, not name transfers. You can usually request a correction if there is a minor spelling mistake, your first and last names got reversed, or your middle name needs to be added to match your passport. It also covers a surname change after marriage or divorce, or fixing a title like Mr., Mrs., or Ms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What you can\u2019t do is hand the ticket over to someone else. Air India requires the name on the booking to match your travel document, and every request is handled according to their published name correction policy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Air_India_Name_Change_Rules\"><\/span><b>Air India Name Change Rules<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before requesting a name correction, you must know what Air India will and won\u2019t allow.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Minor_Spelling_Mistakes\"><\/span><b>Minor Spelling Mistakes<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Air India allows you to correct up to three characters in your name, as long as you have a valid ID to back it up. Each request gets reviewed on its own.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>For example<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Sameer to Samir, or Ankita to Ankita.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"First_Name_and_Surname_Interchange\"><\/span><b>First Name and Surname Interchange<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your first name and surname were entered in the wrong order during booking, Air India can usually fix it once they verify your documents.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Middle_Name_Correction\"><\/span><b>Middle Name Correction<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your passport has a middle name on it, especially for travel to and from US and Canada, you must get your ticket corrected so it matches your travel document.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Name_Change_After_Marriage_or_Divorce\"><\/span><b>Name Change After Marriage or Divorce<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have legally changed your surname after marriage or divorce, you can request a correction. Just make sure you have the required documents ready, such as a marriage certificate, divorce decree, or an updated passport.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Title_Correction\"><\/span><b>Title Correction<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Corrections to titles like Mr., Mrs., Ms., or Miss are usually allowed when needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Air_India_Passenger_Name_Format\"><\/span><b>Air India Passenger Name Format<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During Air India flight ticket booking, your name should match your passport exactly. A name mismatch, even a minor one, can create unnecessary delays at check-in or immigration. Keep the following in mind:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Type your <\/span><b>first name (given name)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><b>last name (surname)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> exactly as they appear on your passport.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If there is a <\/span><b>middle name<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on there, include it too, especially if you\u2019re flying internationally.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Skip <\/span><b>nicknames, shortened names, or initials<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> unless that is literally what is printed on your passport.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Double-check the <\/span><b>spelling, order, and spacing<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> match your travel document exactly; even small differences can cause issues later.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Example_of_the_Correct_Passenger_Name_Format\"><\/span><b>Example of the Correct Passenger Name Format<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Passport Name<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Correct Booking Name<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rahul Kumar Sharma<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rahul Kumar Sharma<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Priya Singh<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Priya Singh<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">John Michael Doe<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">John Michael Doe<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your booking doesn\u2019t match your passport, request an Air India name correction as soon as you notice. Small spelling mistakes are usually easier to fix than major name changes, especially if you reach out to Air India before your travel date.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Tip: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Travelers flying to or from the <\/span><b>USA<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><b>Canada<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><b>the UK<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and <\/span><b>Australia<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> should pay extra attention to middle names, as immigration authorities and airlines often expect the booking to match the passport exactly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_Air_India_Will_Not_Allow_a_Name_Change\"><\/span><b>When Air India Will Not Allow a Name Change\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Air India does not allow name changes that effectively transfer the ticket to another traveller. That includes swapping one passenger for another entirely, changing the first and last name to someone else altogether, or asking for a correction that doesn\u2019t line up with your actual travel documents. The booking has to stay tied to the same passenger it was originally issued to.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Documents_Required_for_Air_India_Name_Correction\"><\/span><b>Documents Required for Air India Name Correction<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on what you\u2019re asking for, Air India might need your passport, a government-issued photo ID, or documents like a marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court order. Anything else that backs up the correction can help too. Having these ready ahead of time usually speeds things along.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Air_India_Name_Correction_Fee\"><\/span><b>Air India Name Correction Fee<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fee for an Air India name correction depends on the type of request and your booking method. Under Air India&#8217;s current policy, genuine spelling mistakes up to three characters usually get fixed for free. Other corrections, like adding a middle name, switching from a maiden name to a married one, or changing a nickname to your full legal name, can come with a charge.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It also depends on whether you booked directly with Air India or through a travel agency like Flyopedia. If you\u2019re not sure whether yours falls into the free or paid category, contact Air India before making any changes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Request_an_Air_India_Name_Correction\"><\/span><b>How to Request an Air India Name Correction<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can request Air India name correction in three ways.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Through_Air_Indias_Customer_Support_Portal\"><\/span><b>Through Air India\u2019s Customer Support Portal<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you booked directly through Air India, raise a Name Correction request through the customer support portal.
