Iberia Airlines Name Change Policy 

Booking a flight is exciting, but one typo in your name can turn that joy into stress at airport check-in. For travelers flying with Iberia Airlines and Iberia Express, ensuring your flight ticket reflects your legal name as on your passport or ID is essential. Even a mis-typed middle name or surname can delay check-in or, worse, prevent you from boarding. Fortunately, Iberia offers limited name correction options to help smooth things over, if you're aware of their rules and act fast. Below is a detailed 2025 guide to name correction rules, fees, and best practices for Iberia flights.

Here’s what you need to know about when and how Iberia allows you to correct your name:

• Exact match required: The name on your ticket must match the name on your government ID exactly—no exceptions.

• No full name changes: You cannot transfer the ticket to another person or make full name changes. Only corrections to your own name are permitted.

• 24-hour grace period: Minor corrections (e.g., typos) within 24 hours of booking are sometimes allowed and may be free—though you might still owe a fare difference.
