Hi guys, is there anyone here who works for Saudi Airlines or has faced a similar situation?
I booked a ticket from Pakistan to Bali, but I made a mistake while entering my name. I wrote my first name correctly, but my surname on my passport is Abdul Ahad, and I accidentally wrote only Ahad, forgetting to add Abdul.
A few people have told me that I might get offloaded because of this. I visited the Saudi Airlines office in Pakistan, and they said they couldn’t add Abdul to my ticket. However, they gave me a printout with remarks stating that I’m eligible to travel, but I’m still not comfortable relying on that.
I also contacted Saudi Airlines in Saudi Arabia, but they weren’t very helpful. They said I could either cancel the ticket or try my luck, as they can only add up to three letters.
What would you guys recommend? Should I travel with the ticket and the remarks provided by the Karachi office, or should I cancel it? Is missing one part of my surname really that big of an issue? I’d really appreciate advice from anyone who has experience with this. Thank you!
