Tips for inputting passenger name

Names must be entered exactly as they appear on your passport for immigration and security purposes. Failure to do so may delay your check-in, incur a change fee, and it may even be denied boarding. Please note that the maximum length for the name is 50 characters including title, first name, middle name, last name, and date of birth of an infant/child if any. Please refer to the tips for entering names correctly to avoid such inconveniences.
