Name Correction

Qatar Airways strictly forbids agents from creating Speculative bookings with a hope that a Name Change request will be entertained at a later stage. Qatar Airways considers this as an abusive practice which not only prevents genuine passengers the right to reserve a seat as well as a loss to the Airline.

In general Qatar Airways does not allow a name to be changed on an existing PNR. The PNR would need to be cancelled if ticketed/un-ticketed and a new reservation is to be made using the current availability. In instances where a Name Correction is required, it should be done within the trade portal for the PNR’s that are issued by travel agencies.

Name correction shall be understood as correction of passenger's surname (family name), first name, middle name, title or PTC due to spelling mistake or missing part of name (e.g. missing middle name).

Name change shall be understood as complete change of passenger's surname (family name), first name, middle name or any/all combination of them. This process is limited only to cases where passenger legally changed it. Any other scenario is restricted for passengers booked on QR flights, codeshare or interline itineraries and/or ticketed on 157 stock/plate.
