This guide explains how to handle name corrections and date changes on a Qatar Airways flight booking, what’s allowed, and what restrictions typically apply.

Name Corrections (Fixing Errors)

• Qatar Airways generally does not permit full name transfers to a different person — a ticket for someone else usually requires cancelling and rebooking.

• Minor spelling corrections and small edits (like fixing a typo or correcting the order of names) are usually allowed if the same person is still traveling.

• Many policies limit minor corrections to a small number of characters overall (often up to a few characters combined across first, middle, and last names).

• Legal name changes (such as after marriage or divorce) may be possible with valid documentation (passport, certificate) and airline support.

Important Notes on Name Changes

• Complete name swaps to transfer a ticket to another person are not permitted; cancel and rebook is usually required.

• Name changes or corrections must be done before travel begins and typically can’t be done after check-in.

• Itineraries with code-share or interline segments may face additional restrictions or not allow name corrections at all.
