Oman Air Name Change Policy

It seems there might have been a mix-up in your initial request, as you asked about Norwegian Air Shuttle but then followed up with Oman Air. I’ll provide the details for Oman Air’s name change policy based on the most current information available

Oman Air has a specific name correction policy that allows limited changes under certain conditions. Here’s a clear overview:

Eligibility for Name Changes: Name corrections are permitted only for bookings made directly with Oman Air. If you booked through a travel agent or third-party site, you’ll need to contact them to process any changes.

Types of Changes Allowed:

Minor Corrections: You can correct up to three characters in the name (e.g., fixing a typo like "Jonh" to "John") at no charge, provided it’s still the same person traveling.

Complete Name Change: Oman Air does not allow transferring a ticket to a different person. Changing the entire name (e.g., from "John Smith" to "Jane Doe") is prohibited.

Legal Name Changes: If your name has changed due to marriage, divorce, or another legal reason, you can update it by submitting supporting legal documents (e.g., marriage certificate or court order). This is treated as a correction rather than a full change, but fees may still apply unless processed with documentation.

Fees:

• Minor corrections (up to three characters) are typically free if done within a risk-free period, often within 24 hours of booking, though this depends on the fare rules.
• For corrections beyond three characters or outside the risk-free period, a fee applies, usually ranging from $50 to $200 USD, depending on the route, ticket type, and timing of the request.
• Changes made through the call center or at the airport may incur an additional service fee (e.g., $20–$30 USD).

Time Restrictions: Name corrections can generally be made up to 24 hours before departure, but this varies by fare type. Changes must be completed before check-in, and no corrections are allowed once travel has begun.

How to Change a Name:

Online: Visit www.omanair.com, go to the “Manage Booking” section, enter your booking reference and last name, and follow the prompts to correct the name. This option is available only for minor corrections and direct bookings.

Offline: Contact Oman Air’s customer service via phone or visit an airport ticket counter. Provide your booking details and, if applicable, legal documents. Additional fees may apply for offline changes.

Special Notes:

• The name on the ticket must match the traveler’s passport or government-issued ID exactly. Any mismatch could lead to boarding issues.
• Group bookings may require splitting the reservation to change a single name, which could involve extra steps or costs.
• Tickets cannot be transferred to another person under any circumstances, aligning with standard airline security practices.
