What to do if a passenger has a long last name or has only one name?
📏 Passengers with a last name that is too long
There is a limit for the number of characters in the surname field.
If you are booking a low-cost flight that is non-refundable at all, meaning, there is no free cancellation period:
Ask us in chat how to register the passenger surname before booking.
If you are booking a regular airline that has a free cancellation period:
- Write as much of the surname as possible, making sure the last surname is present.
- Make the booking.
- Let us know in chat the booking reference and full passenger’s surname as per passport.
- Our support agents will review the booking and advise how to proceed.
☝️ Passengers with only one name
Make sure that you write the name of the passenger exactly as it appears on the passport. If the passenger doesn’t have a first name or last name, you should do the following:
- Enter the information as per passport and leave the first or last name field empty (depending on what name your passenger is missing).
- Click the “Book” button.
- You’ll get a pop-up asking you if you’re sure that the passenger doesn’t have a first/last name or if you forgot to enter it. Confirm the message and the booking is made.
