Can I Update My Passport Number After Booking a Flight?
Yes, you can generally update your passport number after booking, but it depends on the airline’s policy and timing:
- Before Check-In: If your flight is still some time away and you haven’t checked in yet, you can usually update your passport details through the airline’s website, app, or by contacting customer support. Most airlines allow this if you’ve renewed your passport or made an error.
- After Check-In: If you’ve already checked in, updating your details may require cancelling your check-in and re-doing it with the correct passport information. This could involve additional fees or require assistance from customer service.
- Fees and Restrictions: Changing your passport number is often free if done early, but some airlines may charge a fee, especially as your departure date approaches. Check the airline’s policy on Trip.com or contact their customer service for specific details.
