Brussels Airlines Name Change Policy (2026–27)

 ✈️ Brussels Airlines Name Change Policy (2026–27)

1. Minor Name Corrections

  • Allowed up to two characters in the passenger’s name.

  • Examples: correcting “Jonhn” to “John” or fixing title errors (Mr/Mrs).

  • Free of charge since July 2024, following Lufthansa Group guidelines.

2. Full Name Changes / Transfers

  • Not permitted: Tickets are non-transferable, meaning you cannot change the passenger name to another person.

  • If another traveler needs the ticket, a new booking must be purchased.

3. Group Bookings (10+ passengers)

  • Before ticketing: Name changes are free.

  • After ticketing: A €100 (or CHF 110) fee per passenger applies.

  • Requests must be submitted at least 72 hours before departure.

4. Identification Requirements

  • The boarding pass name must exactly match the passenger’s passport or national ID card.

  • Driver’s licenses are not accepted for international travel.

5. Rebooking vs. Name Changes

  • If travel dates change, passengers can rebook via “My Booking” or the Brussels Airlines Chat Assistant.

  • Fare differences and rebooking fees may apply.

📞 Contact Information

  • Brussels Airlines Customer Service: For corrections or rebooking, contact directly.

  • Helpline: +1-888-449-3560

⚠️ Key Risks & Considerations

  • Typo corrections are free, but passenger transfers are impossible.

  • Group travelers should finalize names before ticketing to avoid fees.

  • EU regulation update (July 2026): Future reforms will ban fees for typo corrections, but full transfers remain excluded until at least late 2027.

Quick Takeaway

If you only need to fix a spelling mistake, Brussels Airlines will process it free of charge. For group bookings, act early to avoid fees. For any major changes, you’ll need to book a new ticket.

Would you like me to also prepare a step-by-step guide for requesting corrections through Brussels Airlines’ online portal, or a comparison with other European carriers?
