In accordance with Qatar Airways' name change policy, the airline does not allow passengers or third-party agents to create a speculative PNR in the hope that the name change request will not be considered at a later stage.
However, passengers can process Qatar Airways name correction requests where only up to 3 characters in the first or last name can be corrected. In cases where a Qatar Airways name correction is made, it must be completed by calling us on the name change phone number or by contacting the nearest Qatar Airways office.
In general, Qatar does not allow you to modify or change a full name to that of another traveler in the existing PNR. The PNR will need to be canceled if a ticket has been issued and a new reservation must be made in the same class of service or using current availability.
Qatar Airways Name Correction Method: Correction of a passenger's last name, middle name or title due to a misspelled name or missing part of a name due to a typographical error.
