Air Tahiti Nui recognizes that passengers may occasionally need to make adjustments to their booking details, including corrections or changes to the name on a ticket. The airline has a specific name change policy designed to facilitate such modifications while adhering to international aviation standards and security regulations.
Name corrections are permitted in certain circumstances, particularly when they involve minor errors. These may include spelling mistakes, typographical errors, or the inversion of first and last names. Such changes are generally allowed as long as they do not result in a change of the traveler's identity. The airline will require supporting documentation, such as a valid passport or government-issued ID, to verify the correct name.
Air Tahiti Nui does not allow full name changes that effectively transfer a ticket to another person. Tickets are non-transferable, and any such request is typically denied. If a passenger is unable to travel, the ticket must be canceled, and a new booking must be made in the name of the new traveler. However, certain legal name changes, such as those resulting from marriage or divorce, may be accommodated upon presentation of appropriate legal documentation.
All requests for name corrections must be submitted through the original point of booking. Passengers who booked through a travel agent must contact the agent directly to initiate the name correction process. Those who booked directly with Air Tahiti Nui should reach out to the airline’s customer service. It is strongly recommended that these requests be made as early as possible to allow sufficient time for review and processing.
Name correction policies may vary depending on the fare type and class of service. Some promotional fares may be more restrictive and might not allow any changes, including name corrections. Passengers should carefully review the fare conditions applicable to their ticket before requesting modifications.
Fees may apply for name corrections, and these charges can differ based on the extent of the correction, the route of travel, and the timing of the request. Corrections made close to the date of departure may incur higher fees or may be subject to denial if insufficient time remains for processing.
For itineraries that include flights operated by partner airlines or codeshare carriers, the name change policies of the operating carrier may also apply. In such cases, Air Tahiti Nui may have limited ability to make changes, and passengers may need to coordinate directly with the other airline to comply with their policies.
To avoid complications and ensure a smooth travel experience, passengers are encouraged to verify all booking details, including the name, immediately after purchasing their ticket. Early detection of errors allows for timely corrections and minimizes potential disruptions during check-in and boarding.
Air Tahiti Nui reserves the right to update its name change policy at any time without prior notice. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, passengers should consult the official Air Tahiti Nui website or contact the airline's customer service directly.
