How can I correct or change a passenger name with Swiss?

Compare the actual name elements with your travel document before asking to pay for a correction based only on formatting. For a genuine discrepancy, do not use the normal Change my booking process: SWISS’s online date-change flow does not change passenger names. Describe the mismatch to SWISS or the original seller and ask for the specific correction procedure. Make clear whether the same traveler is involved, whether the name changed legally, or whether a different person is being proposed. Keep the booking reference and original ticket ready, and provide documents only through the service channel’s secure process. Obtain any charge and reissue requirements before agreeing. The cited FAQ does not establish a universal correction fee or resolve every legal-name case, so a general “name change fee” found elsewhere should not be treated as a quote. Verify the resulting ticket, not merely a changed account profile.
