3. What to Do If I’m Not Allowed to Change or Correct the Passenger Name on My Flight Ticket?

When you submit a name correction request, the airline may determine that name changes or corrections are not allowed for your booking.

If this happens, you may request a refund and make a new booking. You can submit a refund request through Shopee, subject to the fare and airline's refund policy. If your booking is eligible for a refund, you may then make a new booking with the correct passenger name.

Can I change or correct the passenger name by rescheduling my flight?

No. Rescheduling your flight does not allow you to change or correct the passenger name. Any name change or correction is subject to the applicable airline's name correction policy.

4. Can I select a preferred meal or seat for my flight?

Shopee does not manage or control the airline's seat allocation or meal options. The availability of seat and meal selections depends on the airline and your flight.

If you have a preferred seat or meal, you may:

  • Check and select your preferred seat or meal through the airline's website, where available; or

  • Contact the airline directly to check if your preferred seat or meal can be arranged.

Please have your Booking Code ready when contacting the airline. We recommend making your request as early as possible, as seat and meal selections are subject to the airline's availability and policy. Additional fees may apply for certain seat or meal selections. 

5. What happens if my flight is rescheduled by the airline?

Airlines may reschedule flights due to weather conditions, operational reasons, or other circumstances. If there is a change to your flight schedule, Shopee and the airline will notify you through the contact details provided in your booking.

If your flight has been rescheduled by the airline, you may be offered one of the following options, depending on the airline's policy and the type of schedule change:

  • Accept the revised flight schedule; or

  • Request a flight change or refund, if eligible.

Your eligibility for a free reschedule, reschedule with an additional fee, or refund depends on the airline's policy and the applicable terms of your booking.

Please note that the final refund amount is subject to the airline's assessment and approval and may differ from the initial paid amount.

Please check the notification from the airline or Shopee for details on the available options and eligibility. If you need further assistance, please contact Shopee Customer Service.

If your flight is reschedulable, you may submit a reschedule request to Shopee Customer Service at least 120 hours before the scheduled departure time. All reschedule requests are subject to the applicable airline's policy, availability, and approval.

The final refund amount depends on the applicable airline's refund policy, cancellation fees, and other applicable charges.

In some cases, the airline may charge a cancellation fee that could be up to 100% of the booking amount, which means you may receive little or no refund.

10. How Long Will It Take to Process My Refund Request?

Refund requests may take 45-180 days to process from the date your refund request is submitted.

The processing time depends on the applicable airline's refund policy and processing time. Please note that the actual refund timeline may vary depending on the airline and your booking.
