If your Virgin Atlantic flight ticket has an incorrect passenger name, it is important to correct it before travel. Even a small spelling mistake or missing name detail can cause problems during check-in or boarding, especially on international flights. Virgin Atlantic allows name correction in specific cases, provided the passenger remains the same and the correction is genuine.

This guide explains the rules, allowed corrections, fees, and the process to fix a name error on a Virgin Atlantic booking.

What Is Name Correction on a Virgin Atlantic Ticket?

Name correction means fixing minor errors in a passenger’s name so that it matches the passport or government-issued ID. It does not mean transferring the ticket to another person.

Types of Name Corrections Allowed

Virgin Atlantic generally permits the following corrections:

• Minor spelling errors (1–3 characters)

• Typing mistakes in first or last name

• Adding or removing a middle name

• Correcting title (Mr, Mrs, Ms, etc.)

• Reversing first name and last name order

• Legal name updates due to marriage or divorce (with proof)

⚠️ Passenger substitution is not allowed. The traveler must remain the same.
