Wizz Air+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) one of Europe’s prominent low-cost carriers+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) allows passengers to **change the name on a flight ticket**+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) but this process comes with several important rules+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) distinctions+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) and fees that travelers need to understand The airline distinguishes between **minor name corrections** and **full name changes**+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) each with its own procedures and costs Minor name corrections generally involve small adjustments to the name on a ticket to ensure that it exactly matches the identification documents that will be used at the airport These can include correcting typos+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) fixing small spelling mistakes+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) adjusting titles (such as Mr + 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) Mrs + 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) or Ms )+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) or expanding abbreviated names For instance+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) changing “Jack D Smith” to “Jack Daniel Smith” would typically fall under minor corrections Wizz Air allows these types of adjustments to be made **through the passenger’s Wizz Air account online**+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) and they are often **free of charge** To avoid any issues at the airport+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) minor corrections must be made **at least three hours before the scheduled departure** of the flight+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) as this ensures that the updated information is reflected in the airline’s booking system and matches the traveler’s government-issued identification or passport This is a crucial step because mismatches between a ticket and an ID can lead to denied boarding+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) complications with security checks+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) or difficulties during passport control for international flights
Beyond minor corrections+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) Wizz Air also accommodates **full name changes**+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) which generally occur when the original passenger needs to update the ticket for significant legal reasons+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) such as marriage+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) divorce+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) or other documented changes in identity Full name changes are more involved than minor corrections and typically incur a **fee**+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) which is usually around **€50 to €65 per passenger per flight segment** when completed online If the change is requested through Wizz Air’s call center+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) an additional call center handling fee may also apply Full name changes require proper documentation to verify the legal change+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) which can include items such as a marriage certificate+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) a divorce decree+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) or an updated passport This verification process ensures that the airline maintains accurate passenger records and complies with aviation regulations+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) particularly regarding security and identification requirements
Passengers can make name changes through several channels depending on how the ticket was purchased If the booking was made **directly through Wizz Air’s website**+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) the traveler can log into their Wizz Air account and process the change online If the ticket was booked through a **travel agent**+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) the passenger must typically request the change through the agent+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) who will then coordinate with Wizz Air to apply the update In certain cases+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) changes may even be handled **at the airport check-in desk**+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) provided that the request is made sufficiently in advance and local airport procedures allow it However+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) last-minute changes at the airport are generally discouraged because they may not be processed in time+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) which can lead to delays or the need to purchase a new ticket It is always advisable to make any name changes well in advance to avoid unnecessary stress or additional costs
It is important to emphasize that **correcting a passenger name is not the same as transferring a ticket to a completely different individual** Wizz Air’s policies strictly prohibit using a ticket booked in one person’s name for an entirely different traveler without following the airline’s rules+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) and attempting to bypass these rules could result in denied boarding If another person needs to travel instead of the originally booked passenger+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) Wizz Air may treat this situation as a **new booking**+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) in which case the original ticket cannot simply be updated to a different person’s name In many cases+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) it may be more cost-effective to cancel the original booking and issue a new ticket in the new traveler’s name rather than attempting to perform a full name transfer Some tickets+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) depending on their fare conditions+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) may offer partial refunds or travel credits that can be applied to a new booking+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) which indirectly allows a different passenger to use the credit+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) but the airline is transferring the *value*+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) not the passenger entitlement
Wizz Air also has strict deadlines and rules surrounding name changes Both minor corrections and full name changes must generally be completed **before online check-in closes**+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) which is typically **three hours before departure** Failure to make the change in time may limit the passenger’s options+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) require additional intervention through customer service+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) or necessitate the purchase of a new ticket Travelers should also be aware that Wizz Air usually allows **only one free minor name correction per booking**+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) so it is advisable to review the ticket details carefully immediately after booking to avoid complications later Understanding these rules and acting promptly can save passengers both time and money
In addition to procedural details+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) there are practical considerations when changing a passenger name on a Wizz Air ticket Travelers should ensure that the corrected or updated name exactly matches the passport+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) national ID+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) or other identification document that will be used for travel Even minor discrepancies+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) such as a missing accent mark or incorrect middle initial+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) can create problems during boarding or security checks For international flights+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) alignment between the ticket and the passport is particularly critical+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) as airlines and border authorities are required to verify identity rigorously By taking care of name corrections or full name changes well in advance+ 1 - ( 877 ) → (738)→ (0345 ) passengers can avoid last-minute stress and ensure a smooth travel experience
