What if there is a spelling mistake in air ticket?

If a booked passenger's name is incorrect on the ticket, get the airline (or other carrier) to change the mistake before your trip, especially if you are going overseas. You could be denied boarding if this is not corrected. The name on your ticket must match your ID and/or passport. This is a security concern.
