Author Topic: wrong name on ticket (Read 31893 times)

I just had a ticket where one of my children ended up with his middle name for a last name and I called up jet blue and they changed it without a problem.

Is it possible to book under one name and then switch the name?

A travel agent may be able to hold a reservation until you know who's flying.

For a minor, they dont check ID.But you need to write male or female.

Male or female shows up on the ticket?

MR or MISS/MRS.

IME. But they dont always make them go through the see-all-scanners

ETA- From the few copies of BP's that I have here it looks like
UNITED *does not print on the boarding pass
US Air (A"H)did

*-SOMETIMES

LOL! Now I finally understand the reason behind those scanners

Actually I have 2 United BP that I'm looking at. One says MR, one does not.
Weird.

Anybody know why?

I had a letter missing from my name once (from booking on the phone with a real person).
They let me check-in by making a note on the ticket for the security and gate agents.
All went smoother than expected but after much HUCA I never did receive miles for those flights $:-\$ .

Unfortunately with ElAl HUCA most likely wont work. I have this exact same problem with a name change. They are a bunch of ~~idiots~~ Israelis

But my advice here is to just ask them to put a note on the ticket about the name mistake and you will have no problem in the airport.

Booked AA ticket, on EY, and mistakenly chose Dr. instead of Mrs.
Is that an issue, or do I have to get that changed ?
