Air Europa Name Change Policy

It’s obvious to make mistakes when we book a ticket in a hurry. Most of you make blunders in your name, middle name, and last name. When you re-check your ticket, you get a shock that might cost you money for correction. Luckily, most airlines provide an easy name change policy that allows anyone to change letters in their name or even update the full name.

However, Air Europa is pretty strict with its name-changing guidelines and doesn’t allow you to completely change the name on your airline ticket. They can provide exceptions in certain situations, but it will be a troublesome process if you have made a huge blunder and want to change your name on Air Europa’s ticket completely.

Also, the airlines don’t provide any option to change the name online. You need to contact their customer support for help, which is a hassle. It’s better to be attentive while providing a name to this airline.

However, if you are reading this after doing a blunder or willing to change the name under special circumstances, just go through the guidelines we mentioned below.

FAQs

1. What is Air Europa Airlines Name Change Policy?

As we mentioned, changing the name will be difficult with this airline because of these troublesome guidelines.

The policy only applies to flights operated by Air Europa. That means if you have a connecting flight or codeshare flight with any other airlines, you need to contact them separately for a name change. It cannot happen through Air Europa’s portal.
Once the reservation is made, the airline doesn’t allow passengers to change their names on the itinerary. If you have misspelled a few words, it’s fine, but it’s pretty difficult to change the entire name.
As a relief, the airlines allow you to change up to three letters on your name without fees. For example – If your name is Allen smith and you spelled it as Alien smooth, then the airline will allow you to correct those three mistyped letters. But if it’s more than you don’t have any other option. However, there can be certain exceptions, and we have discussed them in this article.

If you are yet to book your tickets with this airline, we recommend you to be attentive while providing your name, or you will make a big mess that is difficult to clear.

4. Through website or airport kiosk

Please don’t rely on these options in the case of Air Europe because their website has no option to update the name manually. Other airlines provide a service for passengers to change their name by themselves, but Air Europa is strict with its policies and doesn’t have the option to update the name online.

Also, don’t wait until the day of your flight to change the name at the airport kiosk or request the ground staff to update your name so you can travel. They don’t have any option to change your name at the airport, and cancelling the ticket at the last moment will leave you with no refunds at all.

Most other airlines allow you to change your name for a fee. At times they offer a name change waiver to their loyal customers for improved customer service. But the case is completely different with Air Europa.

The airline doesn’t provide a name change waiver because it doesn’t allow to change the name in the first place. As mentioned in the airline guidelines, they allow you to change up to three letters in your name, free of cost.

If you have booked a ticket with an agent, you may request them to change your name. They might charge a fee for this additional service but remember the airlines never request any money to update the name on your ticket.

For example – In the case of marriage, you must provide the marriage certificate.

If you don’t have any valid reason, then the policy of editing up to three letters will apply to your surname. You cannot completely change your last name on Air Europa’s airline ticket without proof.

The last option is to cancel the ticket and book a new one with an updated name. The cancellation policy works differently depending upon the case and circumstances.

Air Europa nowhere describes how their legal name change works. If you are required to change your name in case of any legal circumstances, then you will find yourself in the hands of their customer support. Indeed, they take out of the way decisions in special conditions, but the airline doesn’t mention how their legal name change policy works.

The same name change policy will apply. You can demand exceptions from their customer support but make sure you display supporting proofs that make their work easier and benefit you. Simply saying that you need to change the name because of legal issues will not work.

But if your nickname is Dora Jones and you want to change it to Neilia Jones, then it’s not possible.

The airline is pretty strict about its name change policy. Sometimes, they agree to make notable changes demanding you submit the relevant proof, but mostly you have to cancel the ticket and make a new booking with an updated name.

Yes, Air Europa Airlines provides you with an option to make minor changes to your name without any cost. You can request their staff to change up to three letters of your name, and they will do it without asking any questions.

However, suppose your name and surname are completely changed after marriage. In that case, you need to contact their support and make a special request by showing a copy of your previous documents and marriage certificate.

The airlines don’t describe the specific name-changing policy in case of marriage. So, the solution will be based upon their staff’s discretion. They may or may not change your name. In the end, you always have the option to cancel and make a new booking.

Air Europa doesn’t charge anything to change the name on your ticket. They allow passengers to update up to three letters of their name on the ticket for free. You can contact their support to place the request as the feature is unavailable on their official website.

13. Can you fly if your name is spelled wrong?

No, you cannot! These days airlines have become very strict with their policies, and due to this, they don’t allow anyone to fly with a wrongly spelled name. Your name must match word by word from your identity documents.

Imagine a terrorist traveling in your place because his name is slightly different from yours. It will be a huge security lapse that will put all other passenger’s life in danger. That is why airlines are very strict about their name-changing policies.

With Air Europa Airlines, you can change up to three letters of your name, but the service is unavailable at the airport. You need to contact their online customer support to make necessary changes. Make sure to complete the process at least 24 hours before departure, or else it will be a big hassle for you at the airport.

14. How can I correct my name on the flight ticket?

You cannot correct the name yourself; the airline doesn’t provide the option on their website to change the name for pre-booked tickets manually. Their staff can only perform this action. To make a name correcting request, you need to connect with their staff, contact them online, or visit their office if you have some special requests.

Moreover, if you have booked the tickets through an agent, you need to contact them for help. Your agent has to follow the process mentioned above to make the necessary changes for you.

Please do not leave the airport without correcting your name on the ticket because even a slight word mismatch will lead to denied boarding. Also, there is no option at the airport to change your ticket. They will ask you to cancel your flight and make a booking for the next departure, which will cost you a lot of money.

15. Does Air Europa Airlines require a middle name on the ticket?

No, it’s not compulsory to provide your middle name while making a booking with Air Europa. But you must provide your first name and last name.

With that, there are no restrictions if you want to provide your middle name, but make sure you spell the full name correctly or there will be a huge problem. Your middle will unnecessarily take a huge space and might cut your last name in the boarding pass. So, if not necessary, then please don’t mention it.

Also, make sure your name on the ticket matches the name on your passport or any other ID you will produce for verification. That means if your ID doesn’t contain the middle name, please don’t mention it on your ticket. You might end up creating trouble for yourself.

16. Does your airline ticket name have to match your passport?

Yes, of course! The name on your ticket must exactly match the name on your passport. Even a single misspelled word will create big trouble for you, and the airlines will deny you boarding.

Not only a passport, in case you are traveling domestically and have a government id with you like a driving license, id card, or any other document. Make sure your name matches the one mentioned on the identity document you are producing for verification.

Please double-check your ticket after booking because the airline will not allow you to travel if your provided name doesn’t match the one on the documents. If know it earlier, then you can contact the customer service staff, and they will update up to three letters of your name for free.

However, if you get to know about it in the end moment, then no one will help you with a solution at the airport. The last option is to cancel the booking, miss your flight and get a new ticket by paying a much higher price, to change the name!

That’s why it is very important to have the correct name, and if you make mistakes, please correct them before arriving at the airport.
