#flightbookingmistake

Booked a Copa Airlines flight and spotted a name error? Don’t worry—you’re not alone, and Copa has a name change policy to help travellers in your shoes.

🛫 What You Can Fix:

Up to 3 characters (typos or minor edits)

Switched first/middle/last names

Nickname to full name (like Sam to Samuel)

Adding/removing hyphens or middle names

Name changes due to marriage/divorce (with docs)

❗ What You Can’t Do:

Fully change both first and last names

Apply changes on codeshare or non-Copa-operated flights

Make more than one correction per ticket

📋 Need to Make the Change? Here’s the quick process:

Head to Copa’s website and find the Name Correction Request form.

Fill it out with your details and reason for the change.

Upload a government ID or legal document.

Get your case number.

Call within 48 hours to follow up.

Pay any fees if asked—usually $50 if booked via travel agent.

Wait for your updated ticket in your inbox.

💰 Pro Tip: Booking through a travel agent? That name fix will likely cost you. Book directly with Copa to avoid some of the fees (for most fare classes).
