Hello everyone! I have reservations with British Airways but just two days before the departure I realized inverted names on my ticket. I tried to correct the error online but couldn’t. Does British Airways permit to correct the inverted names on the ticket? Can anyone tell me how to make British Airways name change on ticket? Also, let me know if I have to pay a name change cost or not. Your valuable insight and assistance will be appreciated.

Should match the passport

What an odd thing to happen

Call the airline or online to modify your reservation

I can’t imagine they’ll charge you for that.

I would call the airline. I had an issue with United that wasn’t similar to yours but had to be done over the phone, and it didn’t take nearly as long as I expected

I had the same issue last year and they said it was fine and it was. I'm assuming instead of John Smith it is Smith John.

I never dealt with it personally, but Cathay was famously strict.

Passport John Wilkes Booth
Name on Reservation John W Booth

Denies boarding.

Just an FYI there are outliers.
