๐ For the fastest help, call Philippine Airlines customer support at 1-866-284-3022. Their agents are trained to assist with name corrections.
โ๏ธ Did you book a flight with Philippine Airlines and realize your name is misspelled or needs updating? Whether it is a minor typo or a legal name change, it is essential to correct your flight details before travel to avoid problems at check-in. Fortunately, Philippine Airlines offers options for name changes or corrections -- and we are here to guide you through the process, step by step.
๐ Why Name Corrections Matter
Airlines require that the name on your ticket exactly matches the name on your government-issued ID or passport. Even a small typo can result in:
โ Denied boarding
โ TSA security issues
โ Non-refundable tickets going to waste
That is why it is important to act quickly if you notice an error.
๐ Pro Tip: As soon as you spot an issue with your name, call 1-866-284-3022 to fix it directly with Philippine Airlines.
๐ Philippine Airlines Name Correction Policy: The Basics
Philippine Airlines does allow name corrections and changes, but there are specific rules based on the type and extent of the correction.
โ๏ธ Minor Name Corrections
If your correction is minor (e.g., spelling mistake, missing middle name, or nickname to legal name), it is usually easy to fix.
Examples:
โข "Jonh" to "John"
โข "Liz" to "Elizabeth"
โข Missing middle name or incorrect initials
๐ข These are typically allowed once per passenger. Call ๐ 1-866-284-3022 to request a minor correction. You may need to provide identification or legal documentation.
๐ Major Name Changes
For legal name changes due to:
โข Marriage ๐ฐ
โข Divorce ๐
โข Legal court order ๐
You will likely be required to submit legal documents (e.g., marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court papers).
Important: Name changes are different from transferring your ticket to someone else -- Sun Country does not allow name transfers. The passenger must remain the same person.
๐ For clarity and assistance, it is best to speak to a representative at 1-866-284-3022.
๐ฐ Are There Any Fees for Name Changes?
Yes, in most cases, Sun Country charges a name change or correction fee, which may vary depending on:
โข The type of fare you purchased
โข How close it is to your departure date
โข Whether the change is made online or via customer service
Fees can range from $75 to $150, though minor corrections may be less, especially if made within 24 hours of booking.
๐ฏ To get an accurate quote and understand your options, call 1-866-284-3022 and speak with a Sun Country agent.
