How to Change a Name in an Etihad Booking

I had a situation where I needed to correct a typo in my Etihad booking—it was just a small name error, but I didn’t want it to cause problems at the airport. At first, I tried changing it online, but the system didn’t allow full edits. So, I called Etihad’s reservations line, and the agent walked me through the process immediately. They confirmed the correction, updated my booking, and even sent me the revised e-ticket while we were still on the call. It was so much faster and less stressful than trying to figure it out by email. From my experience, whenever you need to change a name, calling Etihad directly is the best way to instantly fix it and ensure there are no issues before your flight.
 
To change a name on an Etihad Airways booking, you’ll need to contact Etihad customer service directly or reach out through the Manage My Booking section on their website. Minor corrections, like fixing a spelling mistake of up to three characters, can usually be done online or by phone for a small fee. However, if the name change involves transferring the ticket to another person, that’s not allowed—Etihad doesn’t permit full name changes. Be sure to have your booking reference, passport details, and supporting documents ready when you call or visit an Etihad ticketing office.
