Understanding Air Premia’s Name Change Policy
Air Premia recognizes that typing mistakes and unexpected legal name changes can occur. The airline’s Name Change Policy enables passengers to correct or update their ticket details before departure, ensuring a smooth travel experience.
However, it’s important to note that name changes and name corrections are different:
-
Name Correction means fixing small errors like spelling mistakes or letter swaps.
-
Name Change involves updating your entire name due to legal reasons such as marriage, divorce, or court-ordered changes.
While Air Premia allows minor corrections directly, major name changes require supporting documents and may include a reissue fee.
Types of Name Corrections and Changes
1. Minor Name Corrections
If you made a small typo during booking, Air Premia allows corrections of up to three characters in your first or last name. Examples include:
-
“Jhon” corrected to “John”
-
“Micheal” corrected to “Michael”
-
Fixing misplaced or missing letters
These changes are treated as minor corrections and do not require a new ticket.
2. Major Name Changes
Major name updates are considered only under legal or documented circumstances, such as:
-
Marriage or divorce (e.g., Sarah Lee to Sarah Kim)
-
Court-ordered name changes
-
Passport or ID updates showing a new legal name
For these changes, passengers must submit official proof to Air Premia’s support team for verification.
How to Request a Name Correction or Change on Air Premia
Air Premia makes it easy to correct or update your name using several convenient channels:
1. Online via Air Premia Website
If you booked your ticket directly through Air Premia’s official site, you can:
-
Visit the Manage Booking section.
-
Enter your booking reference or e-ticket number.
-
Select the Name Correction or Modify Passenger Details option.
-
Upload your valid ID or legal document (if applicable).

You’ll receive an updated e-ticket once the modification is approved.
2. By Phone Through Customer Support
For assistance, passengers can call Air Premia’s customer service or reach out to Flights Counsel at +1 (877) 337-0761.
A representative will verify your booking, review your eligibility for correction, and guide you through any required documentation or payment process.
3. Through the Ticketing Office or Airport Desk
If you’re near the airport or an Air Premia office, you can request corrections in person. This option is ideal for last-minute fixes or when online requests are unavailable. However, ensure that your request is made before check-in.
Documents Required for Name Change Requests
To prevent fraud and confirm identity, Air Premia requires valid documentation for processing any name correction or update. Commonly accepted documents include:
-
Government-issued photo ID (passport, driver’s license, or national ID)
-
Copy of the original flight booking or e-ticket
-
Legal proof of name change (e.g., marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court order)
-
Updated passport or identification reflecting the corrected name
Make sure that all documents are legible and consistent with the new name being requested.
Applicable Fees and Charges
Air Premia’s name correction fees depend on multiple factors such as route, fare type, and timing of the request.
Here’s a general overview:
-
Minor Name Correction: A small administrative fee (typically $50–$150 USD) may apply.
-
Major Name Change (Legal): Additional reissue fees or fare differences may apply depending on your ticket type.
Fees can vary, so it’s always best to confirm the exact charge by contacting Flights Counsel or the Air Premia support team before making changes.

Important Rules to Remember
Before submitting a name correction or change request, keep these rules in mind:
-
All name updates must be completed before check-in or boarding.
-
Ticket transfers to another person are not permitted. Only the same traveler’s name can be corrected or updated.
-
If booked via a third-party agent or online travel portal, contact the agency directly for corrections.
-
Name changes are subject to fare rules and may affect your ticket validity or refund eligibility.
-
Ensure your corrected name matches your passport or official ID exactly.
Refunds and Rebooking Implications
If your ticket cannot be corrected due to fare restrictions, Air Premia may require you to cancel and rebook. Refunds in such cases depend on your ticket type:
-
Refundable fares: Eligible for partial or full refunds after deduction of applicable fees.
-
Non-refundable fares: Usually converted into future travel credits, valid for upcoming Air Premia flights.
Always confirm refund options with Air Premia support or Flights Counsel before proceeding.
Tips to Avoid Name Errors in the Future
To prevent name-related issues in future bookings, follow these simple tips:
✅ Double-check your name’s spelling before finalizing payment.
✅ Match your ticket name exactly with your passport or government ID.
