Possibly. Call airline get ticket changed.

Yes it will, you need to try and get that corrected as soon as possible. Preferably before attempting to go through TSA. (You were warned)

Yea the agency I booked through is trying to charge 75.00 just for them trying to correct the name šŸ˜‚ Will try my shot directly with the airline. Worst case scenario I'll try to get it corrected at the gate.

I've read that people have not had an issue with minor spelling errors.. wanting to see if anyone on FB had this experience.

Fix it at the ticket desk before proceeding to TSA

šŸ˜‚ šŸ˜‚ Valid point..

I have a commonly misspelled name and have called the airline to correct multiple times before

like

I would call and if itā€™s an obvious issue, they should fix it for free. If not, just try going thru TSA and see what happens. Worst case, an agent at the airport will help you change it.

like

Why on earth would an airline charge you to correct a spelling error, OP? It's not like trying to sneak by transferring the ticket to another person.

"Yes, would you please correct the spelling of my name on my airline reservation? My name is Steve Czichachowitz, but I accidentally typed it Bob Smith when I made the reservation."

This happened to a friend of mine and she had problems getting back into the country. She didnā€™t misspell it my friend who purchased all our tickets together did. She has a very polish name and we were in Mexico.

like

Some airlines will charge you. Call and if they try to charge, then give yourself extra time at the airport. Try to go through TSA, if you get stopped there, you have a better chance at the gate agent reprinting your ticket for free

like

You don't wanna run into "that one TSA Agent". Get it fixed at the desk

D4: just tell them you canā€™t travel until itā€™s correct.... guarantee approvals will move quicker ;)

M1 - have they charged you for this?

Only if youā€™re typically assumed to be from the Middle East, making that A-Rab money

Iā€™ve heard of people getting charged. Should be illegal.

Yep A5, there is ā€œthat one TSA Agentā€ at Atlanta Hartsfield, I avoid his line every Monday

Ticket desk can do it. Iā€™ve had to do it for Dave vs. David. I.d has to match ticket.

Anyone taken the business class on Air India from JFK to BOM? Worth the upgrade?

Serious question - is there a reverse FIRE strategy? I like the idea of saving and retiring early, but the one hiccup I see (and sorry if this is grim) is if you die earlier than expected. Iā€™d be worried that I would minimize lifestyle and fun for retirement at 50 but Iā€™d die at 49. How about a way to work 9 months out of the year and retire/travel/relax for 3 months? This way you guaranteed your dreams/etc. are fulfilled
