Name correction for same person

It is permitted for SAS offices and Travel Agents to make a name correction for same person.

Note: Not applicable for group reservations



Name correction is allowed for an issued and unused SK/117 ticket booked on SK/WF operated flights with SK/WF-prefix in the carrier box.


Name correction not required

When booked on SK operated flights in the following cases:
  • Infant on domestic travel in Denmark, Norway and Sweden
  • If the double surname is written together, such as LindOlsson instead of Lind Olsson
  • If written JOHANSON instead JOHANSSON
  • If “Å” is written as "A” instead of "AA" (same with Ä and Ö)

Name correction required

Name correction is required when travelling to below countries:

Great Britain and the United States

Misspelled name in ticket with other airlines

Check via an Availability display if there are seats available in the booking classes and flights the passenger is booked on

If seats available, make a new identical reservation with the correct name. Enter the original ticket number and reissue ticket.

Name correction is free of charge when

  • name is misspelled
  • adding infant, inserting infant name or correction of infant name
  • change of first/middle name to last name or v.v.
  • change of order of first names
  • change of order of last names
  • changing title to/from MR, MS or MX
  • due to technical/space limitations on SAS web sites
  • changing, adding or removing date of birth (youth)
  • Passenger only holding family name, who has made reservation online, where website requires both first name and family name.


Note: Adding infant, inserting infant name or correction of infant name on SK code share flights must be checked on OAL.


Name correction is not free of charge when

  • adding or removing any name
  • change of nickname to correct first name
  • name correction is needed because of marriage or divorce
  • name correction when passenger has written his/ her own name twice in same reservation instead of travel companion
Note: If ticket not yet issued, agent may correct name without charge.
In general, not adding your middle name to the PNR name field doesn't bother anyone. The full details for international travel purposes (visa check etc) are captured in the APIS/DOCS field during checkin.
