Correcting a typo in a name
How to make a name correction
Noticed a typo in your name? If you booked your trip via KLM and are flying with KLM, Air France, or Delta Air Lines, you can contact us to request a name correction free of charge.
If one of your flights is operated by a different partner airline, please send us your request at least 72 hours before departure. We’ll do our best to help you.
You don’t have to request a name correction if:
- you have multiple first names and only the first is shown in your booking – it’s correct that only 1 first name is displayed;
- you used your maiden name, as long as it’s the same last name as on your passport;
- your name is shown without spaces – our system did that, it’s not a typo.
Naturally, you cannot replace your name by someone else’s – the ticket stays in your name.

Bookings via a travel agent
For trips arranged via a travel agent, please contact them directly to make a name correction. We recommend you do this well in advance, since it may take a while to process.
