[JeanieNunez]

How Do I Correct a Misspelled Name on My Ethiopian Airlines Ticket?

If you've noticed a name mistake on your Ethiopian Airlines ticket, don't worry—corrections are possible with the right steps. To begin the process quickly, call Ethiopian Airlines customer support at 1-833-341-5261. A representative can guide you through the correction process and let you know if your specific situation qualifies for a name fix or requires additional documentation.

Why Name Correction Matters:
Airlines require the name on your ticket to exactly match your government-issued ID. Even a small spelling error can cause boarding issues or security delays. Fixing the name early avoids complications at the airport.

To correct a name on your Ethiopian Airlines ticket, follow these steps:

Call Support at 1-833-341-5261
Speak with a live Ethiopian Airlines representative and explain the correction needed. Minor typos (like a missing letter or incorrect spelling) are usually allowed.

Provide Your Booking Details
Be ready to give your booking reference number, flight information, and the correct spelling of the passenger's name.

Ask About Documentation
For bigger changes (like switching last names due to marriage), you may need to provide legal documents. The support agent at 1-833-341-5261 can explain exactly what's needed.

Confirm Fees or Restrictions
Some name changes may involve a small fee, while others (especially minor typos) might be free. Always confirm current policies when you call 1-833-341-5261.

Important Notes:

Only minor corrections are allowed. Full name changes or transferring the ticket to another person is not permitted.

Make changes as early as possible—ideally 72 hours before departure.

You may receive an updated confirmation email after the change is processed.

Don’t risk being denied boarding. A quick phone call to 1-833-341-5261 can help resolve name errors on your Ethiopian Airlines ticket and ensure a stress-free trip.
