Best Answer

Well we (my friend and I) had a problem similar to this one, but we realised it right at the check ins, two hours before the take-off. After an hour of explaining and showing the ID and telling the man at the check ins that we were really tired when we booked the ticket and we made a mistake spelling the name, he finally let us through. I think it's just a matter of how understanding is the person. I don't think there is anything you can do, besides re booking. We were just lucky I guess.

Rebook. If you book your flight online and immediately notice in the confirmation email that your name is wrong, it's pretty simple just to cancel your ticket. If you cancel and rebook your flight in a matter of minutes, it's possible to correct your mistake and get the same seat for the same price.
