What happens if passport details bookings don't match when in person at airport ? Int

[barbra]

Good morning fellow members of the forum

Just out of curiosity and who knows what may happen, Here is my questions:

My flight with berlin to rovaniemi. It will stop in helsinki for 4 hours. I brought this ticket by finnair on a diferent cheaper website in australia in which requieres to add in passport for all passangers. I dont fully trust them as i found out they are simply adding wrong details of my passport as if they are playing games with me into the booking... I call finnair and they fix that and told me your passport didnt match or so but now fix but i still dont trust finnair online when it comes to update my passport details onto my booking.

So what happens when i reach to one place to another from berlin to helsinki and they see my passport does not much 100% or half of it seems wrong as in expired date and year or passport numbers when they see my actual passport on my hand. Would i end up been (denied) just because (someone) online and on the phone has added my passport wrong details onto my booking as it is getting bit messy with that sometimes.. ? Whos responsability would it be ? Im only giving the correct information passports but its just that i want to find out as curiosity because when i updated the passport details i phone and email the website in which i booked the finnair cheap tickets from berlin to finland and it requiered passport details. And that when i added that i renew my passport 3 weeks later and i had to somehow email them or call to update my passport onto my booking. When i did.. 1 week later i called finnair the official website and email them and told me your passport details do not match with the renew passport.. And this is how i was wondering why in the first place they didn't correctly updated my passport when i first called that cheap website in which i broguht tickets.. So confusing.

So i dont trust anyone online.. Unless its in person. So what happens now ? What happens if they continue to add in wrong details and by the time i get to airport they say your passport dont match exactly the same as what you have given them online in the first place.

This is all speculations only because when i later called finnair they told me passport details dont match.. even i called the cheap website that i brought tickets to update it. And maybe i dont even trust that cheap website in which i brought tickets from because they didnt updated my details correctly. Glad i called finnair 3 weeks later and found out that they dont match. So i had to tell this one the renew new passports. But yet who can i really trust.

In afraid that i might end up been denied entry to and from gates and so on countries due to wrong matching on passport details online vs in person with the passport. So what happens next ?

This is just a speculation. perhaps nothing to fuzz about but look what happen as that the cheap website company i called to update my passport that person on the phone added my wrong details.. Only because i called finnair 3 weeks later to be sure my details are correct and they said it does not match.. So looks like the cheap website someone mucked around with adding not correct renew passport detials into my booking. God knows what would had happen and whos responsability would it had been next ! But i still dont trust anything updates online.

When i log into finnair it doesnt show that i have passport details writen there. Theres nothing like that all i see are both me and him correct names on the bookings but nothing showing about passports.. This is for berlin to rvoaniemi. stops in helsinki first. this one was when the cheap website requiered me to add passport for each passanger but then a few weeks later one of the passport had to be renew and i email and called that cheap website to update it. They updated for me. But 3 weeks later i call finnair just to be 100% sure if all things correct specially passport details.. They said it doesnt match to what your saying. So it looks like i dont even trust that cheap website. But nothing online. God knows what might happen if still my passport details are not matching by the time we both reach to the airport. That is very essential to find out.

If your passport (in hand) matches the ticket details at check -in then all will be ok. I would not worry so much about the Passport details held by the airline, ticket=passport is much more important.

When i log onto finnair for my all bookings all names there are fully 100% correct writen. But in there does not show details about my add on passport and so on. So i dont trust those online and on phone when i provide my passport details as i had to renew the passport and called them all to update it. But to what happen that cheap website i brought tickets for finnair which is not an official finnair but a cheap verser website for airlines someone in there didnt exactly added the details i given them they almost as if they are playing games with me. So what happens ? I have all tickets just all passanger full correct names but what about the passport ? I wont be able to see that details on my booking. Only they can on finnair otherwise. If they see that the passport details dont match what i give them and then they look at my passport in (person) and say it doesnt match. Then his issue is it ? I given them the full correct details. What if they end up making up stories and blame it on me for not matching the passport numbers and the expiring date on the passport ? Those thngs must be corrected. I do what i can to make my trip neat.

But what might happen ? If they see the passport details dont match as in name or spellings or passport number or expiring date ? then who is it to blame ? them or me ? i only give them urgently to correct it and not putting faults information so i end up in all issues later and unable to travel just because (someone) online or on the phone didn't put my details correctly.... So what happens if that was to be the case ?

I thought it is important that the data system online booking matches the same passport on your hand otherwise correct ? I cant see that details on my booking else where what so ever so it is a conclusion that i hope they do have my passport corrected spelling and letters and numbers correctly so that i dont end up been question in person by the time i reach to the airport.


Bookinng both me and my partner has the names correct. But im talking about the passport.. what if they insist in adding the correct details of both my passport him and me ? I cant see that sort of details on my booking. on my booking online only shows the seat numbers and the each full passangers name all corrected and airline times but (no detials on passport details) in the update section so that is invisible for me but they would see that there for im worried they dont have it added correctly because most of the times they dont speak fluent in english in order to understand what im given them on the phone and on email. Just dont like someone to fool me around with wrong details and then at the airport they discover somehow passport dont match with what you have given them online. Which of course i always provide the correct and full information without any msitake. Its them or someone who would make it incorrectly so that i then get me and my partner into trouble. And whos responsability would it be next ? This is all specualations but just need to sort this part out as i dont trust anything online from calls to emails when it comes to have them update my details correctly. Because always theres someone making wrong mistakes. And i cant see this detials on my booking so im cluseless to know if they have my passport corrected or not.

There for how do i know 100% they have listen to me correctly in order to put my correct full information passport details? I cant see this so i have to relie and trust what they do.. But in that case i dont trust unless i can see this information on my booking to be 100% sure they have my passport details corrected spelled and numebrs and letters and expiring date and passport numbers and so on. And even the names as well.

I thought you said you needed to get a new passport before you travelled, Barbra so not point in doing anything yet. ??????

Re: What happens if passport details bookings don't match when in person at airport ?

It doesn't matter what passport details are entered when making the booking because when the CSA swipes the passport details at checkin that will override any details previously in that field.

No your not listening. I had to renew one passport (not a new passport) When i made that booking i just add in a random expired date as my partner passport was going to be due this mid year so to proceed the booking i had to add in passports to continue. Now that he has his renew passorts handy i had to call and email to update his passport and the new number and everything correctly as passports is due in the year 2026

But like ive stated someone is not putting my details correctly when i ask them to do so for update it on my booking. Looks like i dont even trust anyone online and on the phone unless in person,

I see.. How do you know this 100% ? I thought always you msut have it all
corrected what you have online booking to what when you are in person at the airport. Otherwise things or something may not match right and then it may hold up working it out or no entry or no travel. This is for berlin to rovaniemi. This ticket is a separated ticket was done at a cheap aussie website and the flights will be finnair. At the time it requiered to add in passports to proceed the booking and payment and details.

Re: What happens if passport details bookings don't match when in person at airport ?

Just so there is no confusing at this. This is for real. So please if you don't believe whats writen go away or i should report it to the moderators. Thank you.

What i said before. I brought this one way ticket Berlin to rovaniemi. Like most people here are aware of it preview talks. I brought this one way ticket on a cheap aussie website. To proceed with the booking and so on i had to add the passport for each (passenger) My passport is fine. Expires few years. I had to include the partner passport but because his passport is due this year and my trip is at the end of the year. I just add in a random expired date on the booking of his passport. The airline booking went ahead. And proceeded. 3 weeks later he has a (renew) passport (not a new passport) just a renew. Now his expired year expires in 2026 and has a new passport number display. There for i had to email and call that cheap website to (update the passports) and also to be sure mine is correctly added by them and so on.

I called 3 weeks later to FINNAIR and messaged them. I told them could you please let me know if both passports in the booking are correct and matches to what im giving you right now? they reply and told me does not match and requiered the passports and details date of birth... names... expired and so on.

So this tells me that the cheap aussie website didn't added our passports correctly because there for someone at the office couldn't give a careless to correct things or messing around with that. Im glad i message finnair officially just to be sure. If i didn't new this i would had been in lots of trouble or denied travel by all means.

But again i dont trust anything online know days. even if i ask them to update my bookings.. Why would the cheap aussie website add in wrong numbers and so on? Are they playing games on me or they don't listern how i told them on email and voice. Its strange to think a company like them can mess around with peoples booking.

So like ive stated. I still dont trust even finnair with the passport updates. Now lets say for the sake of it finnair also didnt listen to me correctly or they dont care and added in wrong numbers/letters and so on of the passports on my travel booking. If so by the time i reach to the berlin airport they will indicate the passports dont match exactly whats on the screen when making this booking online in the first place. Then who should i be blaming at ? And what happens ?

I believe you get denied to travel because it has to be precies and corrected. Even if you told them to update it for you.. You still cant trust anyone until you see it with your own eyes... And as they say i like to know and investigate just so that i dont have issues with must get on that plane and so on... You see those things can get you denied just because error or wrong numbers and so on.

however all my travel bookings has me and him the names fully corrected 100% but i dont no what might happen if someone accidentally added wrong numbers and or names even on my update passport bookings as i can not see those things online. Only the airline can.

Thanks.....

The only thing that has to match is the passenger name. And even then, small variations are usually allowed.

People buy air tickets sometimes months or even up to nearly a year in advance. During that time passports can expire or be replaced for other reasons. People even lose passports mid-way through their trip and have them replaced. The new passport can have many different details but the name will be identical. The new passport is always accepted at check-in.

Correct. But what if wehn i tell them to update that on my booking and somehow they didn't care and added wrong names on the update passports of my booking? then how do i know 100% the person on that phone or reading my email is someone to be trusted ? If they where to do a mistake or play around like such way then what happens whos fault and who is the blame it on to ? And if i get question why the names and passport numbers dont match exactly to what you have on your hand ? Then should i be saying try call finnair and the cheap website for doing it for me because someone in there added wrong information and they didn't actually listen to me correctly with the passports we hold onto. So this is a speculations then what might happen ? You know the booking trip has all names correctly but i would not no a thing about how or how they are doing to update my passports or adding passport details into my booking as i can not see this sort of information when i log into the finnair bookings. So i just hope they dont muck around and hopefully they have it correct names.. and correct passport numbers expired date and year of birth and so on. If they where to random add in whatever they want. Then someone is playing games and there for i end up been denied to and boarding a plane just because of that. But this is speculations only. Just dont feel trustful that cheap aussie website only because i found it on skyscanner cheaper to travel for this separated ticket aniways.

Re: What happens if passport details bookings don't match when in person at airpo...

Good I'm not the only one having trouble reading these posts.

Barbra long and short of it is your passport needs to match whatever name is on your E-Ticket. If the name on the E-Ticket which you would have received via email matches your passport, then you are fine. If the name does not match (and there is debate on how exact that match needs to be, some say a couple of letters out is ok, others say it needs to be letter for letter) then you will have a problem, end of story.

Get the airline to resend you your tickets if in doubt, and if there is a problem, get them to change it BEFORE turning up at the airport. I have seen multiple times other pax be rejected at check in because tickets didn't match their passports. I don't know what ended up happening in the end with those pax (since I would finish my checkin and be on the way to the lounge before they had finished), but even if check in was successful, it would be a headache one could do without.

Finnair bookings i see they have both me and my partner correct names when i log onto finnair website. Correct names just as the same with our passports.

But what if the aussie cheap wesbite played games on me andd addded a wrong name for each passenger for the update passport thing ? And then i get qustion why the passport when you amde that booking online dont match the same as what you have on your hand ? Even tho the airline tickets has the correct names as what the passports says on my hand. Just that you see the update thing about that cheap website it requiered passport added into the bookings.

Our names are correct on the airline bookings matches the same as the passports we have on our hand. But what if someone at the cheap wesbite added wrong names wrong expired and wrong details (update passport onto my booking) as they have to do that for me. And then realise at airport they say your passport dont match to the same passport update online when you made that airline booking.

Even tho your airline tickets has the very same name correctly as your actual passports. So im still fine with that?

Re: What happens if passport details bookings don't match when in person at airport ?

I get re sent the bookings and stuff it all seems correct but i dont see no where about passport updates into the booking to me that is invisible. But names are correct times and date of booking. just dont trust them if somehow they end up adding wrong details of both passports into this booking and then realise the things dont match. Even tho the airline tickets do match the same name as our passports on our hand which is good. But what about the update details what if the airline company careless and added wrong details of the passport into the booking ? Not much diferents ? Course the airline bookings has the very same correct names as what the passports are showing but they might end up saying why your passport update online booking dont match same time as the one you have on your hand unless they dont look into that!

I am only just worried at that only and spectulations only. know days you dont even trust websites.

If the cheap aussie website careless and someone there didn't listen to me correctly and added random passport numbers and a random name or wrong expiring year onto the update booking then that details are faults and wrong if that was to be the case.

However like i said when i log onto finnair i see that the full names are correct 100% just the same as what the names are on the passports. Its only the adding passport details on the one way ticket bookings which was requiered atherwsie. Maybe i should not worrie about that but there might be some confusing but even tho the tickets names matches the same as passport but they might still end up wondering why your passport details online dont match as the one on your hand. Then i might have to say try blame the website they are the one doing it for me.

Re: What happens if passport details bookings don't match when in person at airport ?

Correct. But what if wehn i tell them to update that on my booking and somehow they didn't care and added wrong names on the update passports of my booking?

what if a meteorite fell from space and hit the plane? What if santa's elves went on strike? What if a tree falls in the forest?

They CANNOT add the wrong name. There is only ONE name on the booking. As you have said that name matches your passport. END OF STORY

As for the rest of your questions. Nothing happens.

Sorry Barbra, you dont listen to what people have to say. The advice that is given here is correct. There is nothing more to say. Hey AFFers lets move on there is nothing here.

Finnair bookings i see they have both me and my partner correct names when i log onto finnair website. Correct names just as the same with our passports.

But what if the aussie cheap wesbite played games on me andd addded a wrong name for each passenger for the update passport thing ? And then i get qustion why the passport when you amde that booking online dont match the same as what you have on your hand ? Even tho the airline tickets has the correct names as what the passports says on my hand. Just that you see the update thing about that cheap website it requiered passport added into the bookings.

But what if someone at the cheap wesbite added wrong names wrong expired and wrong details (update passport onto my booking) as they have to do that for me. And then realise at airport they say your passport dont match to the same passport update online when you made that airline booking.

Even tho your airline tickets has the very same name correctly as your actual passports. So im still fine with that?

El Cheapo website can say what ever it wants, if Finnair states your names are correct then you're fine.

Now the question is why would el cheapo website play games on you and change your name? They want you as a repeat customer, so deliberately screwing you over is not exactly high on their list of priorities. (BTW It's questions like that which is making people question the validity of your claim)

Even if the website did change the name, that would then show up on the booking PNR. We already know that the name is correct on the booking. the OP can easiler track the PNR to make sure there are no name changes. Changing that would also presumably require some sort of fee from the website to Finnair.

As for the rest of the passport details. They can be whatever you want as those are corrected when checking in. I question the validity of the thread as the same questions are being repeatedly asked despite being answered already.
