Need advice, misspelled name on airline reservation

[Charlie Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Charlie]

Anyone have advice for me. I booked a flight on Jetblue for myself, my wife and another couple. The first name should have been spelled "Sebastian" and I misspelled it Sebastion. Should I contact the airlines or do you think that might create more of a problem? Should I let it go and hope that nothing will come of it when we all check-in? Appreciate any help and any thoughts on this matter. Charlie

Hey Charlie, how are u????

Call them now before u fly, especially if u are leaving the country.
It is not a DIFFERENT name, just a typo - it should not be a problem now but could be at the airport.

With the roll-out of TSA's latest brainstorm, you'll want those names to match. I'd call the airline.

Misspelled name resolved

Thanks Pat. Took your advice and called airlines. Because it was just a minor
misspelling and not a different name they were able to resolve it without a
problem and with no additional fee involved. BTW, thanks for the info on Aviara. We stayed in the section you advised and had one of our best vacations ever. Had brunch at Jake's in Del Mar and it was fabulous. Had some other great meals using restaurant.com certificates. Also did some adventurous things like a zip line at San Diego Wild Animal Park and a safari into the animal compounds where we hand-fed giraffes. Thanks again Charlie

Similar Situation

We had a very similar situation recently. My son and daughter were both born in May but 3 years apart. AND our other daughter's birthday is at the end the month like my son. So the girls birthdays are a snap but my sons is harder to get straight for some reason.

I combined my first daughter's birthday with the second daughter and had it wrong on the airline reservation. I called the next day when I noticed it and they made the change just fine without any fuss.

Glad to see the change was easy to make.

Completely off topic now but what section at Aviara was recommended to you?

Not Charlie but... I recommended the Summitt as u can walk right across the street to the hotel/restaurant/spa.

The Meadows section is at the bottom of the hill and requires that u drive or take the shuttle to go to the hotel.
