Can I correct a spelling mistake on my ticket?
Some airlines allow minor corrections, subject to their conditions. Contact the airline or your booking provider as soon as you notice the error.
What documents are required after marriage?
An airline may request a marriage certificate and updated government-issued identification or passport. Requirements vary, so check with the airline handling your reservation.

Fees depend on the airline, ticket conditions, route, and type of correction. Any airline fee or fare difference should be confirmed before you authorize a change.
