There are many passengers who have booked air tickets but do not check the information on the ticket carefully, leading to errors. This situation often occurs and causes a lot of trouble for passengers when checking in at the airport.
In fact, for some minor errors, the airline will support passengers to correct them free of charge. For example, for Vietnam Airlines, the following cases will be free of charge: Non-Vietnamese names, missing or redundant middle names; Wrong order of the passenger's full name and name; Change of name recognized by the Government of the host country; Typo or spelling errors; Cases in which Vietnamese names are redundant or missing from the word "Thi"; Errors due to abbreviations; Wrong information about title and gender.
However, there are also cases where passengers will have to pay a fee to correct the information correctly. Depending on the level, the fee is about 300,000 VND/ticket or charged according to the ticket refund fee.
The wrong name on the ticket will cause you a lot of trouble when you go to the airport to check in. Therefore, as soon as you find an error, you need to immediately report it to the airline or agent where you book your ticket to have an early solution.

Airlines recommend, to limit booking with the wrong name, passengers need to note:
For the Vietnam Airlines flight booking system interface, in the first box, you fill in "Name", followed by "Middle name and first name", and in the last box, fill in "Last name".
For Pacific Airlines: The first box you fill in "Full and middle name", then "First name" and the last box you need to provide information about "Gender".
For Vietjet Air, the first box you fill in your name, the next box is filled in "Last Name", followed by "Name and Middle Name".
Normally, booking flight tickets online will have a higher probability of being misnamed. In particular, the most common mistake is the wrong order of names, because the interface and rules for filling in the full names of each company are different.
