Air travel<\/a> is the most common, fastest and most comfortable way of modern movement around the world. But also the most responsible in terms of preparing for it: this is not a train<\/a> or a bus, from which you can get off at any stop, if something goes wrong. Therefore, when registering air ticket<\/a>s, sentinel services car<\/a>efully check the correctness of the filling, and if errors are found, the passenger may have problems, up to the impossibility of flying.<\/p>\n

Usually, when booking tickets online, all sites give detailed, clear instructions<\/a> for filling out the fields. But practice shows that mistakes, misprints, and distortions made by a potential air passenger often occur. For this, there is even insurance against the impossibility of depart<\/a>ure, including cases of incorrectly filling out an electronic ticket. It (insurance) can be ordered from the operator of the ticket company. But there is always an opportunity to correct the inaccuracies, errors in the ticket. This article is devoted to this problem.<\/p>\n

How to<\/a> correct a mistake in the full name on the ticket<\/h2>\n

The official international alphabet used when filling out personal data on air tickets is Latin. Some Russian air carriers allow using Russian along with Latin letters on domestic route<\/a>s. Various errors occur when filling out, there is a kind of statistics of errors made.<\/p>\n

Wrong spelling of the first letter of the last name<\/h3>\n

This is one of the most annoying typos, because it is by the first letter that passengers are sea<\/a>rched for in the departure list<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Having found an error before the flight (this is good), call the airline, ask for help. It all depends on the status of the company: they may offer to simply correct the letter or make a change in your account on the ticket booking<\/a> website. Some airlines (KLM, British Airways, Easy Jet, Air Asia, Ryanair, etc.) provide this service free of charge, and some (Emirates, Wizz Air) charge a fee. In the latter case, you can correct the letter already at the airport after paying the fine. The worst option is when you have to change the ticket with a significant surcharge (depending on the airline).<\/p>\n

Russian airlines are less picky: if a typo does not affect the correct pronunciation of the surname, it is not required to be corrected. But following the letter of the law on flights, it is worth warning about the error before the flight.
\nA day or more before the departure of UT air, S7 will make changes to the b \/ c online; Ural Airlines – for the correction of each error (no more than 3) they take 500 rubles; Aeroflot – service. fee – 800 rubles; “Victory” – 4000 rubles.<\/p>\n

Distortion of a letter in the name or some subsequent (except for the first) letter of the surname<\/h3>\n

This flaw is not so serious, and they may not even pay attention to it during registration<\/a>. But still, you should play it safe and call the airline or the ticket purchase site to find out their reaction and follow these recommendations to correct the error. Most likely, you will not have to pay anything for the correction, judging by the reviews<\/a> of tour<\/a>ists who already have the sad experience of mistakes. However, some overly strict air carriers (UIA) may take punitive measures up to the replacement of the ticket.<\/p>\n

Inaccurate series or passport number<\/h3>\n

Often this is not an obstacle to departure, but it is better to fix it by notifying the airline in advance. Aeroflot, S7, did this for free before the bankruptcy of VIM-Avia. Pobeda, Ural Airlines will make corrections for 400-500 rubles.<\/p>\n

Wrong address<\/a>, date of birth<\/h3>\n

The address and date of birth are not the most important information for registration, but in order to avoid trouble, you should inform the support service of the service where you booked the ticket and warn about inaccuracies. The airline will be aware and will not make any claims upon landing<\/a>. Date of birth is of interest<\/a> to inspectors on domestic flights, if 2 people are registered – full namesakes.<\/p>\n

Error in indicating gender or status (contact)<\/h3>\n

You should not worry about this, you have the right to determine your gender and how to address you. If you write “Mr” instead of “Miss”, there will be no problems with the flight.<\/p>\n

Error in last name<\/h3>\n

According to the existing flight rules, it is customary to indicate the middle name only when flying on Russian airlines. If you are flying domestic aircraft, it is better to fix it before departure. The standards of Western airlines most often do not require writing a patronymic, such a field is not even on the ticket in most cases.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Writing a full name in Latin<\/h2>\n

When filling in the field with the last name, first name, patronymic in Latin letters, you need to carefully check their spelling with the passport in order to avoid trouble when boarding. It is enough to enter one letter incorrectly – and there will be a problem, especially when the ticket is checked by foreign border guards. Russians understand the different sounds of the same name, for example, Nataliia and Natalia (Natalia and Natalia), but for foreigners these are completely different names, and they have the right to find fault if there are discrepancies with the passport data. Some Russian airlines allow you to fill in the fields (indicate your full name) on flights within the country in both Latin and Russian letters.<\/p>\n

Booking an air ticket on the passport of your country<\/h2>\n

When buying a ticket on an internal passport, the last name, first name, patronymic (the latter is not always required) is still written in English. In the English alphabet, some nuances have appeared in the notation of letters (“ts” since 2014 is denoted as ts instead of tc). In order to avoid mistakes, you need to open the transliteration table and check your spellings against it. The table contains Russian letters and English letters in parallel. Examples of surnames of famous personalities in English transcription are given. Using such a table will help to avoid mistakes in writing personal data and will guarantee a trouble-free, calm flight. But if mistakes are made, they must be corrected in time.<\/p>\n

Buying an air ticket abroad<\/a> without a passport or with an expired passport<\/h2>\n

Almost all foreign airlines do not require you to enter passport data when booking a ticket, so you can buy it without a passport. As for an internal overdue document, you can buy an air ticket for it, and make changes before departure: enter new data instead of old data. The same goes for girls planning to get married and change their last name after booking a ticket. They should notify the airline's customer service<\/a> or call the call center<\/a> and present a scanned copy of the marriage certificate.<\/p>\n

The commission for changing the passport number must be paid at Ural Airlines (500 rubles), at Pobeda (500 rubles). (By the way, Pobeda has just announced a 50% discount on air tickets).<\/p>\n

Practical advice from experienced travel<\/a>ers<\/h2>\n

Booking airline tickets with intermediary companies complicates the correction of errors in flight documents: you do not communicate directly with the air carrier, but through it. It is better to try to purchase tickets directly from the airline, where there are often discounts more than in online sales<\/a> services. Of course, if an intermediary offers an air ticket half the price, then it is more profitable to order from him, but you need to be very careful when filling out. Remember that the vast majority of airlines make changes no later than 2 days before departure, check your travel<\/a> documents in advance.<\/p>\n

When filling in data for several people, enter information about them in one text file, copy everything and send it to the service website, which will automatically indicate them in the tickets. One file and faster to send than separately for each, and there is less chance of errors.<\/p>\n

Be careful when specifying the month of departure – many services immediately show a large range of months, so you can accidentally click on the wrong month (common mistake). For example, your travel period is from October 10 to 18, and the 1st screen of the booking system shows September-October, the 2nd screen shows October-November<\/a>, and you can mistakenly click on “November”.<\/p>\n

The main thing is to be careful when buying e-tickets in order to avoid trouble.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
