Legal name change after marriage or divorce

The name on your flight ticket must match the name on your passport or government-issued ID. If the names do not match, the airline may not allow you to board the flight.
Even a small spelling mistake can cause problems at the airport. That's why you should check your booking details as soon as you receive your ticket.
