Can you change name on flight if checked in?

No, Vueling Airlines does not accept passengers' name change requests after check-in. The airline gives enough time for the passengers to make any changes and modify their tickets the way they want. Check-in is a process that states everything on the ticket is correct, and thus, the airline can now assign seats to passengers and complete other formalities as well. Therefore, Vueling Airlines accepts the passengers' name change requests after check-in. 

How do I change the name after check-in?

Vueling Airlines does not allow passengers to change their tickets after check-in. Thus, checking in with the wrong name can create an issue for the passengers. The airline may deny the passengers the ability to board the flight. So, what to do? Luckily, there is still one way you can change the name on your existing ticket. So, here, you will first have to connect with the airline agent and get your ticket unchecked. Once it is unchecked, you are eligible to change your name on the existing ticket. 

How do I talk to the agent about a name change after check-in?  

Passengers who have completed their check-in cannot request the name change directly through Manage My Booking. They will have to connect with the agent of the airline and get their ticket unchecked first and then apply for the name change. Follow the points and learn how to do the following: 

• First of all, dial the number and connect with the airline's representative.
• Once your call is connected, follow the IVR and reach the airline's name change department. 
• Press the indicated key that leads to a real person on the call. 
• Provide the details of your booking to the agent and help them to locate your ticket. 
• Ask them to proceed with unchecking the ticket. 
• The agent will do that for you and share the details with you to your registered email. 
• Now, if you want to continue, you can ask the agent to apply for a name change request. 
• Share your documents with the agent. 
• You will get a link to make the required payment. 

The agent will apply for the name change request on your behalf. Once the formalities are completed, they will cancel your previous booking and issue you a new ticket with the correct name.
