Icelandair’s name change policy allows passengers to correct misspelled names or update legal name changes on tickets. Minor corrections, like fixing typos, can be done online, but legal documentation is required for major changes. Moreover, some fees may apply depending on the ticket type, and name changes must align with official travel documents.
Icelandair Name Change Guidelines
For any name change request, here are the essential rules for changing a name on your booking with Icelandair:
- If there are minor corrections, like typo errors, or changes up to 3 characters, then submit a name change request to Icelandair in writing by 7 working days before departure.
- Name changes or ticket transfers (e.g., John Fraser to Mary Smith) are not allowed except in cases of legal name change (e.g., gender transition or name change owing to marriage),
- You must provide the booking number, personal details alone are insufficient due to data protection rules.
