British Airways Name Change Policy

British Airways allows for certain name corrections and changes on flight bookings, subject to specific policies and fees.

Name Corrections:

Minor Corrections: British Airways permits corrections of up to three letters in a passenger's name, such as fixing typographical errors. These corrections can be made by contacting British Airways' call centers. An administration fee applies:

• UK/IE Call Centre: £45
• North America Call Centre: $60

Name Changes:

Non-Transferable Tickets: Tickets are generally non-transferable, meaning you cannot change the name on a ticket to another person. If you need a ticket under a different name, you would have to purchase a new one.

Group Bookings: For group reservations, British Airways allows name changes under specific conditions:

• Before Ticketing: Name changes can be made free of charge.
• After Ticketing: A service charge of £50 per change applies, and the change must be made at least 48 hours before departure by calling British Airways' UK&I Sales department. Requests must be made verbally; email requests are not accepted. Name changes are not permitted after departure.

Important Considerations:

Identification Requirements: Ensure that the name on your ticket matches your government-issued identification to prevent boarding issues.

Service Fees: Be aware that service fees may apply for name changes, and additional fare differences could be incurred, depending on your ticket's fare rules.

Contact Information:

Customer Service: For personalized assistance or to initiate a name correction, contact British Airways' customer service directly. This ensures that any changes comply with the airline's policies and are processed appropriately.

Manage My Booking: You can also manage your booking online through the British Airways website to make necessary changes.
