How can I correct or change a passenger name with Austrian Airlines?
Selecting a traveler for a date change is therefore not the same thing as changing the identity printed on the ticket. For a spelling error or a legal-name update, contact Austrian’s service team or the ticket issuer and describe the exact discrepancy. Have the booking reference, ticket receipt and the name on the travel document available. Ask which correction procedure applies, what supporting document is required, and whether the ticket needs to be reissued. The inability to edit a name during rebooking does not establish that every correction is prohibited. Do not cancel the booking or buy another ticket until the servicing party has explained the options. Request the full cost before authorizing any work, and confirm that the action concerns the same traveler unless a different-traveler request has been expressly assessed. Once completed, compare the new travel confirmation with your passport and check any partner flights as well as the Austrian-operated portions.

Important unknowns
- Confirm the permitted correction, documents and total price for your specific mismatch; do not assume a traveler substitution is allowed.
