What they did

A warning before letting an agent book flights. Meta Muse had his legal name on file but still ticketed the flight under his middle and last name through the booking service Duffel. SAS said it couldn't correct it because Delta operates two segments, and Duffel refused twice, in writing, to fix or refund it.

How it went

A name check and booking details shown before any ticket is bought.

Worth knowing

  • One person's complaint on X, so we only have his side. Name errors on tickets can be very hard to fix, especially with codeshares and third-party sellers. Always check the name before paying.

Prompt

Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.

Before you book any flight for me: show me the passenger name exactly as it will appear on the ticket, and it must match my passport: [full legal name]. Tell me which company is issuing the ticket and the change and refund rules. Wait for my OK before paying.
