Name Correction Waiver Guideline

Option 1: Exchange

PNR Handling
**Please email ANA Sales Support (salessupport@fly-ana.com) to verify the new name and that the booking successfully reflects correctly in ANA's system, otherwise it may result in an automatic cancellation.

Ticket Handling

  • Reissue the ticket by doing an even exchange utilizing the Waiver Code at the beginning of the Endorsement/Restriction Box of the new ticket.
  • Only one exchange per ticket is allowed for a name correction. Any subsequent changes are subject to all applicable fare rules and adjustments for taxes/fees/charges and fares must be made.

Option 2: Issue a new ticket/cancel original

PNR Handling
This option is available when Option 1 is not possible. This option will essentially permit a full refund of the original ticket with the incorrect name with the condition that a new ticket with the correct name is purchased.

  • Keep the original PNR/ticket active.
  • Build a new PNR with the correct name and book flights and booking classes based on current availability. (itinerary must be the same origin and same destination as the original ticket.)
  • The new ticket must be issued on 205-NH ticket stock.

 

Ticket Handling

  • Please email ANA Sales Support (salessupport@fly-ana.com) before you issue the new ticket to verify if the itinerary qualifies and to obtain the Waiver Code and instructions.
