《 +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886Upgrade Name Charges》 Qantas name change fee 

When you are booking a flight with a major carrier like Qantas +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), ensuring that your personal details match your travel documents is one of the most critical steps in the preparation process +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). A single typo or a forgotten middle name can lead to significant stress at the check-in counter +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). The Qantas name change fee is a subject that often causes confusion among travelers because the airline distinguishes strictly between a name correction and a name change +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). A correction usually involves fixing a typo or updating a name due to marriage or legal changes +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), whereas a name change refers to transferring a ticket to a completely different person +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). Qantas generally does not allow the transfer of tickets to another individual +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), but they do offer flexible pathways for correcting errors on your own ticket +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). Understanding the nuances of these costs and the specific rules for different fare classes can save you a significant amount of money and prevent the need to repurchase a ticket at current market rates +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔).

What is the difference between a name correction and a name change?

It is essential to identify which category your situation falls into before you contact the airline +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). A name correction is applicable when you have made a mistake in the spelling of your own name +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), such as a "Jane Smth" instead of "Jane Smith +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔)," or if your legal name has changed since you booked the flight +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). Qantas is relatively lenient with these issues +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), especially if caught early +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). On the other hand +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), a name change involves replacing the original passenger with a new person +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). This is largely prohibited on international flights and highly restricted on domestic routes +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). If you find yourself needing to swap travelers +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), you will likely encounter the full Qantas name change fee or be required to cancel the original booking and start from scratch +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). This distinction is the foundation of their fee structure and determines whether you will pay a small administrative cost or a heavy penalty +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔).

FAQ: Can I change the name on my Qantas ticket to someone else?

Generally +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), Qantas does not permit the transfer of a ticket from one person to another +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), particularly on international itineraries +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). For Australian domestic flights +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), a name change might be possible depending on your fare type +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), such as a Flex or Business fare +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), but it usually involves a fee of approximately A$99 plus any applicable fare difference +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). Most discount fares do not allow for a complete change of passenger +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔).

The same day no mistake policy for fee waivers

Qantas offers a generous "Same Day +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), No Mistake" policy that serves as a safety net for those who realize they have made an error immediately after hitting the purchase button +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). If you booked your flight directly through the Qantas website or app +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), you have until midnight on the same day of your booking to correct any errors without being charged the Qantas name change fee +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). This covers typos in the name +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), as well as errors in flight dates or times +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). This grace period is incredibly valuable because it bypasses the usual bureaucratic hurdles +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). However +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), it is important to note that while the change fee is waived +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), you may still be responsible for any fare difference if the correction requires a re-issuance of the ticket into a higher fare bucket +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). Checking your confirmation email the moment it arrives is the best way to utilize this fee-free window +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔).

How much is the Qantas name change fee for domestic flights?

For travelers flying within Australia +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), the rules are a bit more flexible compared to international travel +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). If you have a Red eDeal or a Flex fare +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), you may be able to change the name on the ticket +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), but it will come at a price +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). The standard Qantas name change fee for domestic flights typically sits around A$99 per passenger +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), per booking +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). This fee is often accompanied by a requirement to upgrade the ticket to a more flexible fare class if the original class is no longer available +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). For example +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), if you booked a budget Red eDeal and need to change the name +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), you will pay the fee plus the difference in price between your original ticket and the current Flex fare +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). This can make the total cost quite high +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), so it is often worth calculating if a new ticket would be cheaper than paying the combined fees and fare differences +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔).

FAQ: Is there a fee for correcting a small typo in my name?

If the error is a minor spelling mistake +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), such as one or two letters +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), Qantas often allows for a name correction without a heavy fee +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), provided you are still the same person traveling +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). You should contact Qantas customer service as soon as you notice the error +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). While a service fee might apply if handled over the phone +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), it is significantly lower than the full name change fee +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔).

International name change restrictions and costs

When it comes to international travel +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), the Qantas name change fee policy becomes much more rigid +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). Security regulations and international aviation laws make it difficult for airlines to simply swap names on a ticket +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). For most international bookings +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), a complete name change (changing the passenger) is not permitted +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). If you cannot travel and want to give your ticket to a friend +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), you will likely have to cancel the booking according to the fare rules and receive a refund or travel credit +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), then book a new flight for the new person +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). However +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), name corrections for the original passenger +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), such as updating a passport name or fixing a typo +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), are still possible +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). These corrections on international flights may involve a service fee and require the ticket to be reissued +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), which can sometimes trigger a fare recalculation based on the prices available on the day of the change +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔).

Correcting names due to legal changes like marriage

Life happens +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), and sometimes the name on your passport changes between the time you book a flight and the day you depart +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). If you have recently married or changed your name legally +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), Qantas allows you to update your booking to match your new identification +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). In these instances +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), the Qantas name change fee is often waived +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), though you will be required to provide supporting documentation such as a marriage certificate or a legal name change decree +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). It is highly recommended to handle this well in advance of your flight +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). Trying to explain a name discrepancy at the boarding gate with a marriage certificate in hand is risky and could result in being denied boarding +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). By proactively contacting the airline +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), they can reissue the ticket in the correct name +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), ensuring a smooth transition through security and immigration +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔).

FAQ: What documents do I need for a name change after marriage?

To change your name on a Qantas booking due to marriage +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), you will need to provide a copy of your marriage certificate +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). You can usually submit this through the Qantas website or via email after speaking with a customer service representative +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). Once verified +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), the airline will update your details to match your new government-issued ID or passport +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔).

Fees associated with Qantas Frequent Flyer name updates

Your Qantas Frequent Flyer account must also match your legal travel documents to ensure that points and status credits are correctly applied to your account +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). If you need to change the name on your membership profile +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), there is typically no fee +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), but the process is separate from changing a name on a specific flight booking +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). You will need to upload digital copies of your identification to the Qantas Frequent Flyer portal +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). While this doesn't directly involve the Qantas name change fee for a ticket +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), having a mismatch between your membership and your ticket can cause issues during check-in or when trying to access lounge benefits +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). Keeping your profile updated is a proactive way to avoid administrative hurdles during the booking process +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔).

Managing bookings made through travel agents

If you booked your Qantas flight through a third-party travel agent or an online booking site like Expedia or Skyscanner +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), the Qantas name change fee policy still applies +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), but you must deal with the agent rather than the airline directly +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). This can often add another layer of complexity and cost +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). Many travel agencies charge their own administrative fees on top of the Qantas fees +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). For example +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), if Qantas charges A$99 for a domestic name change +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), the travel agent might charge an additional $50 for their time in processing the request +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). This is why many frequent flyers prefer to book directly with the airline +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), as it simplifies the communication chain when errors occur +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). If you are in this situation +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), call your agent immediately +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), as they are the only ones who can "touch" the booking before the travel has commenced +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔).

FAQ: Why can't Qantas change my name if I booked through an agent?

Airlines generally cannot modify bookings that are still under the control of a travel agency's GDS (Global Distribution System) +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). Until the flight departs or the agency hands control back to the airline +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), the agent is responsible for all changes +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), including name corrections and fee collections +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔).

How to avoid name change fees altogether

The best way to deal with the Qantas name change fee is to avoid it entirely +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). This starts with a meticulous review of your details during the booking process +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). Always use the name exactly as it appears on the passport or ID you intend to use for travel +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). Avoid using nicknames or shortened versions of your name +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). Another tip is to double-check the passenger details on the "Review" page before entering your credit card information +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). If you do notice a mistake +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), take advantage of the midnight same-day waiver +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). Furthermore +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), if you are unsure about a passenger's ability to travel +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), consider booking a Flex fare +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). While these fares are more expensive upfront +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), they often have lower name change fees or more flexible cancellation policies that can save you money if your plans change +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔).

The impact of fare differences on name changes

One aspect of the Qantas name change fee that often catches travelers off guard is the "fare difference +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔)." When a ticket is reissued due to a name change or a significant correction +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), the airline essentially cancels the old seat and books a new one +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). If the price of the flight has gone up since you originally booked +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), you must pay the difference between what you originally paid and the current price +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). This is in addition to the administrative fee +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). On popular routes or close to the departure date +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), the fare difference can be several hundred dollars +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). This is why even a "small" change can end up costing nearly as much as a brand-new ticket +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔).

For minor spelling corrections where the passenger remains the same +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), Qantas often tries to avoid charging a fare difference +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). However +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), if the correction requires the entire ticket to be reissued into a new booking class +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), a fare difference might technically apply +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). It depends heavily on the specific fare rules of your ticket and the discretion of the agent +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔).

Step-by-step guide to requesting a name correction

If you have identified an error +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), the first step is to gather your booking reference (a six-character code) and your ID +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). Log in to the "Manage Booking" section of the Qantas website to see if the change can be made online +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). If the "Edit" option is not available for the name field +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), you will need to call Qantas customer service +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). Be prepared for a wait time during peak hours +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). Clearly state whether you are requesting a "name correction" (fixing an error) or a "name change" (changing the person) +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), as this affects how the agent searches for the policy +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). Once the agent provides the quote for the Qantas name change fee and any fare difference +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), you can decide whether to proceed +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). After the payment is processed +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), ensure you receive a new confirmation email with the corrected details immediately +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔).

Name changes for Jetstar-operated flights

Many Qantas bookings involve codeshare flights operated by Jetstar +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). If your itinerary includes a Jetstar flight +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), the Qantas name change fee rules may be influenced by Jetstar's own policies +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). Jetstar generally allows name changes for a fee +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), but their structure is different +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). If your ticket was issued by Qantas (on an 081 ticket stock) +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), Qantas rules usually prevail +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), but there can be technical limitations between the two airlines' systems +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). It is vital to clarify which airline's rules apply if your trip involves multiple carriers +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). Usually +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), the "marketing carrier" (the airline whose flight number is on your ticket) dictates the fees +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), but the "operating carrier" (the airline flying the plane) must also be able to accept the name update in their system +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔).

FAQ: Can I change a name on a Qantas Point's booking?

Yes +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), name corrections are possible on Reward seats booked with points +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), but a complete name change to a different person is generally not allowed +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). If you need to change the passenger +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), you would usually have to cancel the Reward booking +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), pay the points cancellation fee +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), and wait for the seats to return to the system to rebook for the new person—though there is no guarantee the seats will become available again +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔).

Understanding the "reissue" process

When you pay the Qantas name change fee +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), your ticket undergoes a "reissue +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔)." This means the original ticket number is cancelled and a new one is generated +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). This is a formal legal process in the aviation world +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). The reissue ensures that the name on the digital record matches the name on the "e-ticket" and the name on your boarding pass +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). If a name is simply "notated" in the booking without a full reissue +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), you might still run into trouble at the airport +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), as the security scanners and immigration systems look at the primary name field of the ticket +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). Always confirm with the Qantas agent that the ticket has been officially reissued and that you have a new ticket number starting with "081 +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔)."

Dealing with transposed names

A common error is transposing the first and last names—for example +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), putting "Smith" in the first name box and "John" in the last name box +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). While this might seem like a small detail +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), it can cause the airline's automated systems to fail during check-in +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). Fortunately +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), Qantas typically views this as a minor correction +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). In many cases +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), the Qantas name change fee is not charged for transpositions +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), but the ticket still needs to be corrected to avoid issues with Secure Flight data required by countries like the USA +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). If you notice this +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), call the airline as soon as possible +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). They can usually flip the names in the system and reissue the document with minimal hassle +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), provided the spelling remains the same +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔).

FAQ: Will I be charged the Qantas name change fee if I forgot my middle name?

Qantas generally does not require middle names on tickets +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), even for international travel +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), as long as the first and last names match your passport +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). If your middle name is missing +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), you usually do not need to pay for a correction +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). However +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), if you have already included it and misspelled it +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), it is often safer to leave it as is rather than paying a fee to fix it +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), as long as the primary names are correct +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔).

Name changes on group bookings

If you are part of a large group booking (usually 10 or more people) +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), the Qantas name change fee policy is often different and more flexible +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔).

This is because group organizers often book blocks of seats before knowing exactly who will be traveling +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). If you are traveling as part of a sports team +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), school group +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), or corporate delegation +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), check with your group coordinator +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). They will have a specific contract with Qantas that outlines the deadlines and costs for swapping out passengers +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔). Once the final manifest is submitted +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), however +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), the standard individual fees will apply +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔).

If you are traveling to a country that requires a visa or an ETA (Electronic Travel Authority) +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔), make sure the name on your visa also matches the new name on your ticket +𝟔𝟏-(𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟎)-005-886 (𝑨𝑼𝑺) 𝑶𝒓 +61-1800-005-886 (𝒖𝒔).
