What Is Lufthansa's Name Correction Policy?
Lufthansa Airlines allows passengers to make minor name corrections on their tickets, as long as the changes comply with the airline's rules and are not considered a full name change (e.g., due to marriage or legal reasons). According to Lufthansa, a name correction is only valid if the passenger’s identity remains the same.

Types of Allowed Name Corrections:
Typing errors (up to 2–3 letters)


First and last name inversions


Missing middle names or initials


Title or gender corrections (Mr./Ms.)


Note: Full name changes due to marriage, divorce, or other legal situations may require additional documentation and are treated differently.
