Singapore Airlines Name Correction/Change “Fees & Rules”


Introduction


There are also specific guidelines that Singapore Airlines follows concerning name corrections and changes on flight tickets for any given passenger. Understanding these rules will help keep things easier for you during your travel.


NAME CORRECTIONS vs. NAME CHANGES


1. Name Corrections  – these are made up of minor updates such as correcting an error in the spelling, changing the order of first/middle/last names, or reinstating a middle Name and initial. Singapore Airlines typically permits these corrections without large fees, however you want to correct them as quickly as possible.


2. Name Transfer: A name transfer is the change of one ticket to another new identity it may be a family member or friend >> > this can only be done on certain events  Name Changes: full substitution props up when you need indication remaking an entire bundling including any once-overs for all adults. Sadly, Singapore Airlines usually does not allow name changes. This is because the tickets are non-transferable i.e. you cannot transfer your ticket to someone else. If it is a significant name change, you may have to cancel that original booking (possible penalty charges will apply) and book another one entirely.


Name Corrections Charges


Meanwhile, name corrections can have varying fees depending on the fare class and whether a correction needs to be made.


Minor Typographical Errors: corrected free of charge if reported promptly.


– High-Profile Corrections: There will typically be a fee for high-profile corrections, which usually goes from USD 25 to around USD 100 depending on the case.



You can get this corrected by asking for a name change.
