    Description

    This use case illustrates the scenario of Passenger/ Agent initiated name change functionality, specifically from the individual’s data elements. Two scenarios are considered:

    1. Free name changes

    2. Paid name changes

    To update the name elements of a passenger, all name elements that are passed in the request will completely overwrite all the existing name elements. The new name in the Order will exactly match the values passed in the request for name change.
