Why Correct Ticket Details Matter

Even a small spelling mistake on a flight ticket can delay boarding or cause rejection at check-in. Emirates has clear guidelines for correcting such issues through its Emirates Airline Name Change Policy. Understanding these rules ensures your travel remains hassle-free and prevents paying unnecessary charges.

What the Policy Covers

Emirates allows certain updates to passenger details, including:

  • Up to three-character spelling corrections in first or last names

  • Title or prefix changes (Mr., Mrs., Ms.)

  • Legal name changes due to marriage, divorce, or a court order (with documentation)

Ticket ownership cannot be transferred to another traveler. If the traveler changes completely, the ticket must be canceled and re-booked, and this may include an Emirates Airline Cancellation Fee.

Fees and Deadlines

The amount you pay depends on how quickly you report the correction.

  • Within 24 hours of booking: no charge if the flight departs at least seven days later.

  • After 24 hours: Emirates may charge between USD 50 – 200 per passenger.

  • Third-party bookings: travel agencies might add small processing costs.

Refunds or ticket reissues usually complete within 7–20 business days after approval.

How to Request a Correction

There are three official ways to request a name update:

  1. Online: Use Emirates.com → Manage Booking → Edit Passenger Details

  2. Directly: Call Emirates Customer Support

  3. Through Agents: Contact Fusion Air Travels for step-by-step help

Fusion Air Travels can confirm if your fare qualifies for a free update or if the change triggers a reissue. For immediate guidance, call TFN 888-511-8011 and speak to a travel expert.
