One of our readers has shared a simple mistake that almost caused problems for her family on a recent trip to Queenstown . The reader was responsible for booking flights for a family group of 10 travelling between Australia and New Zealand during the school holidays. What travellers should knowIt’s an easy mistake to make, particularly when booking for family members, but the safest approach for international travel is to enter each passenger’s name as it appears on their passport. If you spot an error, contact the airline or booking agent as soon as possible. It’s also worth checking the name saved in your frequent flyer account, particularly if you’ve been a member for years or commonly use a shortened version of your name.
