If you need to correct or update a passenger name on a Virgin Australia flight booking, it’s usually possible to fix small mistakes or make legal updates as long as the ticket still belongs to the same traveler. Virgin Australia treats minor spelling corrections differently from a full name update or transfer.

Types of Name Updates

• Minor corrections: Fixing small spelling errors (usually up to 3 letters) or adjusting the order of first and last names.

• Legal name changes: Updating the name because of marriage, divorce, or other legal reasons, with valid documents.

• Ticket transfers: Changing the ticket to another person’s name is generally not allowed.

How to Request a Name Change

1. Use the Manage Booking option with your booking reference and last name to check if a name edit is available.

2. For larger changes or if online editing isn’t possible, contact customer support to request the update.

3. Provide required documents such as an updated ID or legal name‑change proof if applicable.

Fees & Conditions

• Minor spelling corrections (e.g., a few characters) are often allowed without a fee, but this depends on the fare type and timing.

• For legal name changes or larger edits, fees may apply based on fare class and route — for example, typical domestic change fees around AUD 100+ plus any fare difference for some fares.

• Name changes must be completed before the scheduled departure, and tickets that have already been checked in cannot be changed.

Important Tips

• Ensure the corrected name exactly matches your passport or ID to avoid issues at check‑in or boarding.

• If your flight was booked through a third‑party agent, you may need to request the change through that agent.

• Always check the fare rules before requesting a change, as not all tickets allow all types of edits.
