The flight ticket is an official document, wherein the passenger´s name must be an exact match with the name in their travel document (passport). In case of misspellings, the passenger’s name needs to be corrected. The name correction can be authorized by Finnair Agent Help Desk.
NOTE! With some airlines (for example JL, QR, AF) there might be a technical limitation to modify name element, even if the flight is booked with AY code. Our Agent Help Desk will provide you more details in such cases.
