Booking a flight is exciting, but even a small typo in your name can lead to big travel issues. If you’ve booked a ticket with Gulf Air and realized there's a mistake in your name, it’s important to act quickly and understand the Gulf Air name... change policy.
Gulf Air has a passenger-friendly approach, but there are certain rules and fees that apply. Here’s a complete breakdown of what you need to know.
What Does Gulf Air's Name Change Policy Cover?
✅ Minor Corrections
Gulf Air allows minor name corrections for spelling errors, misplaced initials, or title adjustments (e.g., Mr., Ms., Mrs.). These corrections can often be made without a full ticket reissue, making the process quick and simple.
✅ Legal Name Changes
If your name has changed due to marriage, divorce, or other legal reasons, Gulf Air may permit changes upon submitting valid legal documentation such as a marriage certificate or court order.
❌ Ticket Transfers Not Allowed
Gulf Air does not allow you to transfer your ticket to another person. If someone else needs to travel, you must cancel the existing booking and purchase a new ticket under their name.
How to Request a Name Change
You can request a name correction through the following methods:
• Customer Support: Call Gulf Air’s customer service for direct assistance.
• Online Portal: Some bookings can be modified directly on Gulf Air’s official website.
• Airport Office: Visit a Gulf Air ticketing office or airport counter if you're close to departure.
Name Change Fees
Fees for name changes depend on the fare type, route, and timing. Minor changes may be free or involve a small service charge, while major corrections might require a reissuance fee. It’s always best to confirm with Gulf Air before proceeding.
Important Tips
• Make corrections at least 24–48 hours before departure.
• Always double-check your ticket details at the time of booking.
• Have legal documents ready if applicable.
